Abstract
Aspergillus niger SZ was grown under citric acid accumulation conditio ns in a 11 bioreactor. Radioactive citric acid was added during the fe rmentation to the culture medium. The accumulation of radioactive citr ic acid in the mycellium was measure by measuring radioactive CO2 in t he offgas. Evidence was obtained of significant turnover and metabolis m of exogenous citric acid even during the phase of maximum accumulati on into the medium.
