Abstract
The growth of 19 strains of Rhizopus from different species were evalu ed in environments with variable concentrations of CO2. The results sh owed that most strains studied can tolerate concentrations of 5-10% CO 2. Even the radial growth of some strains is stimulated in such CO2 co ncentrations. However, in concentrations of 16-20% CO2, most strains h ave their growth significantly reduced. Some strains demonstrated to b e able develop in anaerobiosis, though slowly.
