Summary
Extracted grape waster material and pressed apple pulp were tested as carbon sources forPenicillium funiculosum 515,Myrothecium verrucaria 9095 andAspergillus niger TMF-15. They were good growth substrates, especially forA. niger. When cultivated on mixed substrate in optimized nutrient medium,A. niger accumulated a product of 35% crude protein with a maximum productivity of 0.117 g protein/1/h and cellulose consumption of 90.92%.A. niger also produced the highest levels of cellulase activity. Maximum carboxymethyl cellulase and activity against filter paper were 494 units/l and 97 units/l, respectively.
