Abstract

The amounts of S‐ and R‐glucans in the mycelium of Aspergillus giganteus mut. alba depend on light within the range of selected light intensities: 0 W · m^−2^; 3 W · m^−2^; 10.6 W · m^−2^ at 20% glucose concentration in the nutrient medium. This species synthetises the highest amount of S‐glucans at the light intensity 10.6 W · m^−2^, and that of R‐glucans – at the intensity 3 W · m^−2^.
