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.

Quantitative recovery of fungal biomass grown on solid k-carrageenan media

TL;DR: In this article, the use of a dissolvable solid matrix, κ-carrageenan, to quantify biomass grown on solid media was studied, and a firm gel was obtained with 2% (w/v) and 20 mM K+ which could be easily dissolved in demineralized water.

L-Glutaminase Production by Marine Fungi

A Sabu, +1 more
TL;DR: The obtained results allowed us to assess the importance of knowing the carrier and removal status of canine coronavirus, as a source of infection for marine Beauveria bassiana, which is important for L-glutaminase production under submerged fermentation.

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.
