✦ Synopsis
Direct hydrolysis of Aspergillus tiger mycelium growth on amber&e IRA-900 or sugar cane bagasse on solid state fermentation followed by the analysis of soluble protein by the dye binding method was carried out. Hydrolysis with phosphoric acid 0.25M during 7 min allowed maxima protein extraction available to be measured. Color interference of medium components was not observed, allowing the use of -this method for biomass estimation when amberlite IRA-900 or sugar cane bagasse are used as support in solid state fermentation processes.

Growth of Aspergillus niger and glucoamylase production correlated well with the water activity of the substrate (wheat bran plus corn flour) in a solid-state fermentation. Both were maximal at an initial water activity of 0.936. Glycoamylase reached 550 units/g dry substrate after 96 h.
Aspergillus niger cultures at high initial glucose concentration (up to 400 gO) on Amberlite as inert support were carried out. Citric acid was accumulated in the support showing high concentration (94.54 g/l) and productivity (1.35 g/1 h) without inhibition related to the presence of metals (Mn 2+,
