Application of Aluminum Oxide Nanoparticles in Aspergillus terreus Cultivations: Evaluating the Effects on Lovastatin Production and Fungal Morphology
Figure 3
Time courses of lovastatin (a), biomass (b), and lactose (c) concentration in shake flask cultures of Aspergillus terreus ATCC 20542 propagated with aluminum oxide (Al2O3) micro- and nanoparticles at the concentration of 6 and 12 g . Cultivations performed without aluminum oxide served as experimental controls. All experiments were conducted in triplicate. Error bars represent the standard deviation values.
