Effect of water activity on the growth of fungi isolated from „muesli“ components
The effect of water activity (aw) (0.85-0.97) on the growth of Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, Penicillium chrysogenum, P. brevicompactum and Eurotium herbariorum was examined. The growth of A. niger was lower than that of A. flavus at aw of 0.89 and 0.85. A. niger was the least tolerant of r...

| description | The effect of water activity (aw) (0.85-0.97) on the growth of Aspergillus
niger, A. flavus, Penicillium chrysogenum, P. brevicompactum and Eurotium
herbariorum was examined. The growth of A. niger was lower than that of A.
flavus at aw of 0.89 and 0.85. A. niger was the least tolerant of reduced
moisture, and low aw (0.85) could prevent colony formation in 5 days. P.
brevicompactum was less sensitive to reduced moisture conditions than P.
chrysogenum. The maximal growth of E. herbariorum was observed at the level
of 0.89 aw. Among the tested fungi, E. herbariorum appeared to be best
adapted to the conditions of low aw. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike
