Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Culture of a strain of Aspergillus niger on medium containing 3 % tannic acid yielded tannase (tanin acylhydrolase), evidenced both in the culture medium and the mycelium. Fermentation in submerged culture at constant air flow gave mycelium with high tannase activity.
