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.
## Abstract The enrichment of cassava protein content using solid substrate fermentation was studied on both laboratory and onβfarm scales using __Aspergillus niger__ as a starter. The effects of cassava particle size and of various nitrogen source ratios and mixing methods were investigated. Ammon
