Abstract
Broth from batch fermentations with Aureobasidium pullulans was invest igated with a vibrating reed viscometer which showed to be sensitive t o changes in the concentration of exopolysaccharide as well as in the concentration of mycelial biomass. Samples were withdrawn at 11.5, 13. 5, and 20 hours after inoculation and measurements on dilution series of mycelium showed that the change in the age and therefore in the mor phology of the mycelium markedly affected the sensor signal.
