Notes:
A fungal strain suitable for protein enrichment of starchy raw materials was selected by evaluation of the growth rate, results of protein biosynthesis in solid state fermentation (SSF) and assessment of fungal biomass. The strain Aspergillus oryzae A.or. 11 selected for further studies was characterized by the radial growth rate Kr of about 300 μm/h and by the specific growth rate μ of about 0.100 h-1. Fungal biomass contained about 32% of crude protein in dry matter. The digestibility of this protein in vitro was close to 75%. Protein analysis for amino acids showed that the content of exogenous amino acids approached that in protein of the FAO standard. As a result of 34 - h culture of this strain in solid medium, net protein increased by about 5.0 g/100 g of starting medium d.m. at the cost of decomposition of about 20 g carbohydrates.
