✦ Synopsis

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.

The water activity ( a, ) of substrates has been related to the mycelial growth and the sporogenesis of two molds. In the absence of other limiting factors, optimal a , values were determined for growth and sporogenesis as 0.99 and 0.98, respectively, for Trichoderma viride TS and 0.97 and 0.96 for

Two strains of Pleurotus spp., grown in solid state fermentation on sugar-cane straw, degraded the dry matter by 50% after 60 days. The rate of substrate consumption and the dry weight of fruiting bodies decreased in consecutive flushings. Both strains vigorously attacked hemicellulose (80% of total

Both the moisture levels and the incidence of mould contamination recorded for shelled water melon seed samples (22) obtained from 9 markets were generally higher as those recorded for the unshelled seed samples. 16 fungi, mostly toxigenic, were isolated from the surface-disinfected mouldy seeds. Of
