title: Microbial degradation of condensed tannins.
abstract: A strain of Penicillium adametzi Zaleski was isolated from enrichment cultures with condensed tannins as the carbon source. Low-molecular-weight condensed tannins, extracted and purified from Pinus radiata bark, were used as substrates for quantitative growth measurements on this fungus in defined culture conditions.
