✦ Synopsis

Biosynthesis of polygalacturonase (PG) by A . niger strain R 1/214 correlates with the morphology of mycelium in submerged culture. The mean specific PG-synthesis (PG-U . g-1 . h-') increases with the degree of compactness of mycelium. PG-production can be optimized by a precise adjustment of the culture conditions after direct spore inoculation (diffuse mycelium) but the high synthesis as by compact mycelium is never obtained. Different reasons for the higher enzyme production by the pellet mycelium are discussed. PG-synthesis is assumed to be strictly connected with a limitation of nutrient and oxygen supply.

## Abstract Farnesol was the first quorum‐sensing regulator to be found in eukaryotic cells. In __Candida albicans__, a dimorphic fungal human pathogen, farnesol blocks the yeast‐to‐filamentous growth transition. Here we show that in __Aspergillus niger__ farnesol acts as an inhibitor of conidiatio

Polyol production has been studied in Aspergillus niger under different conditions. Fermentations have been run using high concentration of glucose or xylose as carbon source and ammonium or nitrate as nitrogen source. The growth of biomass, as freely dispersed hyphae, led to an increase of medium v
