From: Morphology engineering - Osmolality and its effect on Aspergillus niger morphology and productivity
Germination of Aspergillus niger SKAn1015 as effected by osmolality. Depicted are the Median diameter (top) and the Sauter mean diameter (bottom) over time at 0.35 osmol kg-1 (A, B), 1.0 osmol kg-1 (C, D), 2.5 osmol kg-1 (E, F) and 3.6 osmol kg-1 (G, H) culture broth osmolality. The grey highlighted area marks the begin of the sudden increase of the Median diameter, till the Sauter mean diameter has reached a near constant value. The corresponding Δt-value is the germination time. Particle sizes were determined by laser diffraction.
