| temperature and incubation time effects on growth and ochratoxin a production by aspergillus sclerotioniger and aspergillus lacticoffeatus on culture media. | as there is no knowledge of the influence of abiotic factors on the two new ochratoxin a (ota)-producing species aspergillus sclerotioniger and aspergillus lacticoffeatus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of temperature and incubation time on growth and ota production by these species on culture media. | 2011 | 21219367 |
| Aspergillus niger contains the cryptic phylogenetic species A. awamori. | Aspergillus section Nigri is an important group of species for food and medical mycology, and biotechnology. The Aspergillus niger 'aggregate' represents its most complicated taxonomic subgroup containing eight morphologically indistinguishable taxa: A. niger, Aspergillus tubingensis, Aspergillus acidus, Aspergillus brasiliensis, Aspergillus costaricaensis, Aspergillus lacticoffeatus, Aspergillus piperis, and Aspergillus vadensis. Aspergillus awamori, first described by Nakazawa, has been compar ... | 2011 | 22036292 |
| β-galactosidase from aspergillus lacticoffeatus: a promising biocatalyst for the synthesis of novel prebiotics. | β-galactosidase (ec 3.2.1.23) are interesting enzymes able to catalyze lactose hydrolysis and transfer reactions to produce lactose-based prebiotics with potential application in the pharmaceutical and food industry. in this work, aspergillus lacticoffeatus is described, for the first time, as an effective β-galactosidase producer. the extracellular enzyme production was evaluated in synthetic and alternative media containing cheese whey and corn steep liquor. although β-galactosidase production ... | 2017 | 28646668 |
