THE INFLUENCE OF MAGNETIC FIELD-TREATED A QUEOUS-SOLUTIONS UPON THE CITRIC-ACID BIOSYNTHESIS

The efficiency of the citric acid biosynthesis - by Aspergillus niger - in submerged process, has been clearly improved using the magnetic f ield treated water to achieve the fermentation medium. The experimenta lly found quantitative increments, ranged between 30 and 100%, were as signed to the magnetic field treated - water property to increase the efficiency in the initial process phases, possibly by easing the forma tion of active centres and their placing in positions that optimally i nfluence the biochemical processes. There were found no alteration of the biochemical cycle, during the fermentation processes, the G.C. ana lysis proving predominant citric acid production.
