Publisher Summary This chapter evaluates recent advances in submerged liquid cultivation
of the vegetative or mycelial forms of those members of the “higher fungi” that produce …

Recent ecological, environmental and sustainability concerns have urged a need for
innovative materials with diverse applications to replace conventional synthetic materials …

Background Filamentous fungi are the most widely used eukaryotic biocatalysts in industrial
and chemical applications. Consequently, there is tremendous interest in methodology that …

Since filamentous fungi rapidly adjust their metabolic properties to environmental changes,
a rigorous standardization and characterization of cultivation conditions is necessary to …

A novel milliliter‐scale stirred tank bioreactor was developed for the cultivation of mycelium
forming microorganisms on a 10 milliliter‐scale. A newly designed one‐sided paddle …

Abstract Background The filamentous fungus, Aspergillus niger, responds to nutrient
availability by modulating secretion of various substrate degrading hydrolases. This ability …

Dextranase is commonly used for eliminating dextran contamination in sugar factory. This
research, dextranase from Aspergillus allahabadii X26, was produced, purified and …

Conventional stirred-tank bioreactor (STR) designs are optimised for cultures of bacteria but
not fungal cultures; therefore, a new Air-L-Shaped Bioreactor (ALSB) was fabricated. The …

Background Chemostat cultures are commonly used in production of cellular material for
systems-wide biological studies. We have used the novel TRAC (transcript analysis with aid …

In view of the high citric acid production capacity of Aspergillus niger, it should be well suited
as a cell factory for the production of other relevant acids as succinic, fumaric, itaconic and …
