In vitro biotic production of H3Cit by Aspergillus wentii RS- 519 exposed to N-ethylideneethylenediamine

The efficacy of N-ethylideneethylenediamine on biotic production of H3Cit by fungal strains such as Aspergillus fischeri RS – 119, Aspergillus foetidus RS–215, Aspergillus aculeatus RS-313, Aspergillus carbonarius RS-418 and Aspergillus wentii RS- 519 has been assessed. It has been observed that the fungal strain Aspergillus wentii RS- 519 has been found most significant and effective for the citric acid fermentation process. It has been found that the compound, i.e.,N-ethylideneethylenediamine has stimulatory effect on biotic production of H3Cit by Aspergillus wentii RS- 519 and enhances the yield of citric acid to an extent of 22.852% higher in comparison to control fermenter flasks, i.e., 4.321g/100 ml under the optimized conditions.
