Abstract
The aim of this work was to select strains of Aspergillus, niger for tannas e, production Growth of colonies in plates with tannic acid-containing medi um indicated their ability to synthesize tannase. Tannase activity was also measured in solid-state fermentation. A. niger 11T25A5 was the best tannas e. producer (67.5 U.g(-1)/72 hours of fermentation).
