TLDR
A unique method is described by which large yields of secondary metabolites arc produced on solid substrates using Aspergillus and Penicillium species, which prevents sporulation of the fungus and makes recovery of the product easier than in conventional liquid media.Abstract:
A unique method is described by which large yields of secondary metabolites arc produced on solid substrates. The process involves the use of moist substrates which are continuously agitated in appropriate fermentation equipment. The amount of agitation, aeration, and moisture can be varied. Extremely high yields of secondary metabolites such as ochratoxin and aflatoxin were obtained using Aspergillus and Penicillium species. The process prevents sporulation of the fungus and because of the nature of the solid substrate makes recovery of the product easier than in conventional liquid media. The substrates include rice, corn, wheat, and other cereals.read more

The prospects for biological control of the free-living stages of nematode parasites of livestock
P.J. Waller,Margaret Faedo +1 more
TL;DR: These studies indicate that the voracious nematophagous capabilities of these fungi, clearly demonstrated in vitro, translate to reductions in the number of infective larvae on pasture and indicate that levels of control, comparable to conventional schemes using anthelmintics, can be achieved.

Microbial production of extra-cellular phytase using polystyrene as inert solid support.
TL;DR: Aspergillus ficuum and Rhizopus oligosporus produced extra-cellular phytase during solid-state fermentation (SSF) using polystyrene as inert support, and results indicated scope for production of phytases usingpolystyreneas inert support.

Production of aflatoxin on wheat and oats: measurement with a recording densitometer.
TL;DR: A densitometric method for reading thin-layer chromatographic plates is described; this is more objective and more accurate than the visual methods previously used for the determination of all four aflatoxins.

Microbiological Production of Carotenoids. I. Zygospores and Carotene Produced by Intraspecific and Interspecific Crosses of Choanephoraceae in Liquid Media
TL;DR: It is reported that plus and minus strains of Choanephora cucurbitarum were capable of forming zygospores when grown together in liquid medium in shaken flasks, and yields of 960 t/g/g of 8-carotene in dry mycelium were found.
