Lactate and ethanol productions by Rhizopus oryzae ATCC 9363 and activities of related pyruvate branch point enzymes.
In Rhizopus oryzae cultivations, lactate production decreased and ethanol and biomass productions increased as inoculated spore concentration increased. Spore concentrations of 1 x 10(3) and 1 x 10(4) spores ml(-1) induced tightly packed clumps, whereas 1 x 10(5) and 1 x 10(6) spores ml(-1) induced filamentous growth.
