title: Lactate and ethanol productions by Rhizopus oryzae ATCC 9363 and activities of related pyruvate branch point enzymes.
abstract: 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.
