Fermentation of Citric Acid | Biotechnology
Article shared by : 
In this article we will discuss about the principle, requirements and procedure for fermentation of citric acid. Principle: When A. niger is grown in a medium having higher concentration of sugar a and low (acidic) pH, citric acid is produced. Requirements: 1. Starter culture of Aspergillus niger maintained on Czapek’s Dox Agar. 2. Test medium […]
