Estimation of fungal growth in complex, heterogeneous culture

Xylanase production by Aspergillus awamori under solid state fermentation conditions on tomato pomace

“…An industrial strain of Aspergillus awamori 2B.361 U2/1 was originally obtained from ABM Chemicals, Woodley, Cheshire (30). The Commonwealth Mycological Institute classified the particular strain in the Aspergillus niger complex because it is a sequential mutant of NRRL 3312, which is a member of the A. niger series.…”

Biochemical characterisation of a glucoamylase from Aspergillus niger produced by solid-state fermentation

“…For enzyme production, there is a preference towards the usage of filamentous fungi because they present a better capability to secret high protein levels in the culture media (Gouka et al, 1997), either solid or submerged (Koutinas et al, 2003). A suitable substrate determination is extremely important for the process feasibility and the substrate must be cheap (Couto and Sanromán, 2006).…”

Production of manganese peroxidase and laccase in a solid-state bioreactor and modeling of enzyme production kinetics

“…In the models, CO 2 was used as an indirect measure of growth. Biomass production rate is commonly correlated to CO 2 production rate or oxygen consumption rate in SSC systems [49,50] because direct measurement of growth is problematic. The mycelium growth was divided into two phases: growth phase and death phase, which were both modeled separately with a logistic equation and a first-order kinetic equation, respectively.…”
