Notes:
Growth kinetics of Aspergillus niger strain A.n./61 on a solid medium containing beet pulp were examined.Solid state fermentation was carried out in laboratory microfermenter (aerated packed columns). During the experiments the CO2 evolution, protein biosynthesis, as well as cellulose and sucrose utilization were determined.It was found that CO2 evolution evidently increased in the logarithmic phase, together with the protein biosynthesis. Between 30-32 h of culture CO2 evolution and protein content in product were the greatest. Subsequently, CO2 evolution decreased.During 28 h of culture, cellulose was slightly utilized, the strain using mainly sucrose. Intense utilization of cellulose was paralleled by a drop in CO2 evolution.
