| Abstract: | SUMMARY: Forty mould species, 30 of which were from the genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium and Mucor , were examined for their ability to utilize the lactose in whey and to produce fat in the mycelium in stationary cultures.
In terms of lactose consumed and weight of mycelial felt produced the most promising species were A. ustus, P. frequentans, P. oxalicum and P. notatum. The first three of these warrant further study as fat producers. |
