Utilization of brewery spent grain liquor by Aspergillus niger
Applied Microbiology
|November 1, 1975
Abstract:
Aspergillus niger was found capable of rapidly converting about 97% of the sugar from brewery spent grain liquor to fungal mass. The yield of dry mycelium, based on the sugar consumed, was approximately 57%. This fungus produced 1.10% titratable acid calculated as citric acid and reduced the biochemical oxygen demand by 96%.
