Comparative studies on biofilm development by Aspergillus niger on polyester sheet and muslin cloth
Abstract
Filamentous fungi are naturally adapted to adhere on the
surfaces in submerged cultures. Cell adhesion plays a vital role
in biofilm development in submerged cultures. The objective
of the present study is to evaluate the growth rate of
Aspergillus on the polyester sheet and muslin cloth with and
without solid support in submerged cultures. The growth of A.
niger was observed to be high in polyester sheet when
compared with muslin cloth.
