Abstract
The production of citric acid from carob pod extract by cell recycle o f Aspergillus niger at different pHs was investigated. Best results in terms of citric acid concentration, productivity, yield and sugar uti lization were obtained with a substrate pH of 5.0. The citric acid con centration (85.5 g/l) and the productivity (4 g/ld) remained constant up to the second and third cycles, respectively.
