Effect of acetic and trans-aconitic acids on citric acid production by Aspergillus niger
Acta Microbiologica Polonica
|January 1, 1976
Abstract:
The effect of acetic and trans-aconitic acids on citric acid production by A. niger at different pH values was studied. The presence of acetic acid at pH 2 prevented spore germination, while it decreased the fungal growth and citric acid production at other pH values. In the presence of trans-aconitic acid the inhibition was less marked at lower than at higher pH values.
