Abstract
The nature of growth of tilamentous fungi on solid substrates renders
the estimation of biomass during the course of solid state fermentation difficu’h.
The changing colour of the substrate during the growth of the microorganism
can be quantified by light reflectance measurements. The experiments reported
in the present paper indicate the potential of using this method for monitoring
biomass in the presence of solid substrates.
