Abstract:
A tannin-degrading strain of Aspergillus niger van Tieghem was grown at pH 5.0 and 30 degrees C in a defined medium where tannins were the sole source of carbon and energy. The fungus had variable growth in tannic acid- and quebracho tannin-medium and could tolerate these tannins even up to 150 g-1 without showing any growth inhibition.
