✦ Synopsis

The kinetics of the autolytic phase of growth in cultures of Aspergillus niger has been studied. Two different autolytic periods could be distinguished. One, consisting of a rapid (exponential) loss (62%) of mycelial weight, occurred between 36 and 117 hours of incubation. A second, consisting of a slow autolysis, occurred between the ll7th and the 190th hour of incubation; the mycelial loss here being 5%. Based on the degree of autolysis (c~ = 67.0%), 92.5% and 7.5% are lost during the first and the second autolytic periods, respectively.

An empirical model was developed to describe a growth profile occurring in solid-state fermentation (SSF), namely that consisting of an initial period of rapid acceleration followed by an extended period of deceleration. This kinetic profile is not adequately described by the logistic model. The emp
