GIBBERELLIC ACID PRODUCTION BY FUNGI

Abstract

Fifteen fungal cultures including one type strain. Gibberella fujikuroi were screened for gibberellic acid production using Liquid Surface Fermentation (LSF) and Submerged Fermentation (SmF) techniques. G. fujikuroi produced the highest quantity of GA, followed by Botryodiplodia theobromae in both the fermentation processes. In general gibberellic acid production was more in SmF when compared to LSF.

Keywords: Fungal cultures, Gibberellic acid, Liquid surface fermentation, Submerged fermentation
