Liberation of electrolytes during the induced autolysis of Aspergillus niger.
The induced autolysis of Aspergillus niger was studied by suspending mycelia in water; after 120 hours there was a 50% reduction in dry weight. The kinetics of the liberation of electrolytes during autolysis was studied, and a positive correlation was observed between the electrical conductivity of the autolizate and autolysis loss of mycelium dry weight.
