Isolation of Rhizopus arrhizus from Albanian barley

Abstract

Fungal contamination of barley can have a negative impact on malt quality. This work was undertaken to identify the fungi associated with barley kernels, which have been implicated in turbidity problems. Rhizopus arrhizus was isolated from barley and identified by morphological analysis together with molecular approaches. © 2018 The Institute of Brewing & Distilling.
