Bramorski, A. | Christen, P. | Ramirez, M. | Soccol, C.R. | Revah, S.
When Rhizopus oryzae was grown on medium containing cassava bagasse plus soybean meal (5:5 w/w), CO2 production was at its highest (200 ml.l-1) while highest volatile metabolite production was with amaranth grain as substrate (282.8 ml.l-1). In the headspace, ethanol was the most abundant compound (more than 80%). Acetaldehyde, 1-propanol, ethyl acetate, ethyl propionate and 3-methyl butanol were also present. CO2 and volatile metabolite productions reached their maxima around 20 h and 36 h, respectively.
