Vi. Sukharevich et al., Growth of micromycetes and production of pigments on media containing fungicides and inhibitors of pigment synthesis, MIKOL FITOP, 34(3), 2000, pp. 43-47
Effect of different fungicides on growth and biosynthesis of pigments by A.
niger, A. terreus, A. flavus and P. funiculosus were studied. Biosynthesis
of pigments was shown to increase by 160-200 % on medium containing fungic
ides. At the same time biosynthesis of pigments was inhibited on the medium
contained inhibitors of pigmentogenesis (EDTA in concentration of 0.1 % or
DMSO in concentration of 1.0 %). In the case when both fungicides and DMSO
or EDTA were added into the medium biosynthesis of pigments was inhibited
by 140-200 %.
