Application of oxygen vector to aspergillus flavus cultivation

The influence of different types of oxygen vectors (silicone oil, paraffin and Il-dodecane) on kojic acid production by Aspergillus jlavlls NSH9 in shaking-flask cultivations was investigated. Introduction of silicone oil in the cultivation gave the maximum kojic acid production of 0.256 giL which...
