Colony Morphology of the Fungus Aspergillus Oryzae

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Mathematics and Biosciences in Interaction ((MBI))

Abstract

Thick and homogeneous colonies of fungus Aspergillus oryzae with connected growth fronts have been found to grow on solid agar media or on the media with high nutrient concentration, and the roughness of their growth front have been characterized by self-affine fractals. On the other hand, fairly ramified colonies with low growth rate have been seen on the media of low stiffness with very low glucose concentrations.
