Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A culture technique, based on the growth of a microorganism on inert porous particles (e. g. pozzolano) impregnated and continuously fed with substrate is applied to the growth and spore production ofPenicillium roqueforti. The composition and the feed rate of the medium can be controlled, and the biomass is directly estimated.P. roqueforti exhibits a diauxic growth on the medium containing sucrose and malt extract used, and 1.5 109 spores/g pozzolano may be obtained.
