Several fungi and bacteria, isolated from Ugandan domestic fermented cassava, released HCN from linamarin in defined growth media. In 72 h, a Bacillus sp. decreased the linamarin to 1% of initial concentrations, Mucor racemosus to 7%, Rhizopus oryzae and R. stolonifer to 30%, but Neurospora sitophil

โฆ Synopsis
Disinfected cassava root pieces were incubated with and without fungal inoculation. The resulting flours from non-inoculated incubated cassava showed significantly lower (P=O.O04) cyanogenic glucoside levels than those from non-incubated cassava, and significantly higher (P<O.OOOl) levels than those from the fermented pieces. The fungi played a role in the reduction of the cyanogenic glucoside levels.
