Comparative studies on biofilm development by Aspergillus niger on polyester sheet and muslin cloth

Filamentous fungi are naturally adapted to adhere on thesurfaces in submerged cultures. Cell adhesion plays a vital rolein biofilm development in submerged cultures. The objectiveof the present study is to evaluate the growth rate ofAspergillus on the polyester sheet and muslin cloth with andwithout solid support in submerged cultures. The growth of A.niger was observed to be high in polyester sheet whencompared with muslin cloth.
