Summary

The rate of building up of proteins by Fusarium culmorum seems to be accelerated, to a marked extent, in presence of sodium salts of various organic acids, a fact which is most pronounced in case of sodium fumarate.

The presence of sodium fumarate in the culture medium induced a slight increase, while the presence of sodium acetate led to a marked decrease, in the amounts of carbon dioxide given off by the mycelial mats when compared to the control samples.

The presence of fumarate, succinate or citrate in the culture medium led to a significant increase in mycelial dry weights over the controls.
