Abstract

Effect of five different carbon sources namely glucose, maltose, sucrose, dextrose, starch and five different nitrogen sources viz, KNO, NaNO, (NH2 SO, NHCl, and Peptone were evaluated for biomass production of four isolates of Aureobasidium pullulans in submerged liquid culture. Of the five sugars tested maximum biomass of isolates of A. pullulans were obtained in liquid medium containing dextrose as a carbon source, followed by glucose and sucrose. The isolates grown in maltose and starch produced less biomass as compared to other all carbon sources tested. Similarly the nitrogen sources like KNO, NaNO3 andPeptone showed maximum biomass production in submerged liquid culture as compared to other two nitrogen sources studied. Overall results showed that dextrose and KNO3 are the good carbon and nitrogen sources respectively.
