✦ Synopsis

Certain aspects of the physiology of 2 microfungi associated with degradation of malted grains of Sorghum bicolor are studied. Isolated organisms are Fusarium pallidoroseum and Alternuria tenuissima. Fusarium utilized nitrogen free extract more than Afternaria in an acid medium, temperature of 20 "C and 50 "C enhanced protease production in Fusarium and Alternaria respectively, and both fungi preferred a substrate of malt extract agar. Both fungi have an enhanced growth in the presence of sulphur.
