## Sununary The plant growth regulators, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and gibberellit acid (GA3), were tested for their effects on spore germination and cellulase (B-1,4-endogluconase) production by Trichoderma reesei. The addition of 10 -5 M IAA or GA3 enhanced cellulase production, whereas higher

β¦ Synopsis
The effects of captan on the production of mycelia and cellulolytic enzymes of Aspergillus (iculeuru.s and Botryodiplodiu ilieobromue were investigated in culture. There was decrease in mycelia of both fungi with increase in captan concentration in ppm. No fungal growth was recorded at 400 ppm. Captan at 10-S O ppni at 25 and 30 "C induced both fungi to produce more mycelia than in control cultures. The effect of captan concentration on the production of cellulases showed a decrease in quantity with increase in conccntration. At 400 ppm no cellulase was produced by both fungi. There was a general decrease in cellulase production with increase in temperature either in control or experimental cultures. In cultures incorporatcd with captan, the cellulolytic activities of A . aculeutus (at 10 ppm) and B. thPobroriiue (at 10 ppm, 50 ppni) were found to be relatively high.

The role of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) during growth and development of Aspergillus nidulans was investigated. In normal cultures the highest amount of cAMP, expressed on a dry weight basis, was found after 24 h of growth when still more than 5% glucose was present in the medium. After de
Citrobacter intermodius was grown batchwise in a mineral salts medium with glucose as a carbon and energy source under anaerobic conditions and at different temperatures. The effect of temperature on the following parameters was studied: maximum specific growth rate, v max, maximum rate of hydrogen
