  • Title: Citric Acid Fermentation by Aspergillus niger on Low Sugar Concentrations and Cotton Waste.
    Author: Kiel H, Guvrin R, Henis Y.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 1981 Jul; 42(1):1-4. PubMed ID: 16345802.
    Abstract:
    The possible use of cotton waste as a carbohydrate source of citric acid production by Aspergillus niger was examined. No citric acid was produced when A. niger was grown on cotton waste as a sole carbon source. In two-stage fermentations, however, mycelium obtained from surface cultures in cotton waste medium yielded more citric acid when transferred to sucrose-containing media than when directly inoculated to sucrose-containing media. It is concluded that cotton waste can be used for saving sucrose and for increasing yields of citric acid fermentation by A. niger.
