Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the process characteristics of fungal growth in
submerged cultures and its relationship to the kinetics of product formation with a focus on …

Microbial secondary metabolites are useful high value products that are normally produced
by liquid culture; but could be advantageously produced by solid-state fermentation (SSF) …

Penicillium paneum is an important contaminant of cereal grains which is able to grow at low
temperature, low pH, high levels of carbon dioxide, and under acid conditions. P. paneum …

Two systems for monitoring and control of gases from solid-state cultures have been
developed. The first involves on-line automated monitoring of CO 2 and O 2 concentration in …

Octen-3-ol is a volatile germination self-inhibitor produced by Penicillium paneum that
blocks the germination process. The size of conidia treated with 1-octen-3-ol was similar to …

Filamentous fungi grow by extending and branching hyphae through soil pores, which
creates an interconnected fibrous network known as mycelium. Fungal mycelium can cross …

Aspergilli can be used to produce food but can spoil it as well. Both food production and
spoilage are initiated by germination of the conidia of these fungi that have been introduced …

The germination of Penicillium expansum and Aspergillus niger spores was monitored
microscopically on malt extract agar at isothermal conditions ranging from 0 to 33° C and 5 …

Assessment of the costs and benefits of dispersal is central to understanding species' life‐
history strategies as well as explaining and predicting spatial population dynamics in the …

Filamentous fungi have found application in many technologies. These include the
production of antibiotics, enzymes, organic acids, foods and beverages, and …
