Comparative Analysis of Aspergillus oryzae with Normal and Abnormal Color Conidia

Abstract

This study focuses on the characteristic of strains with anomalous color conidium and compares with normal color conidium. Comparative analysis of enzymes activity and extracellular proteins revealed that A. oryzae with anomalous color conidium was not different from the strain with normal color conidium. In addition, A. oryzae with anomalous color conidium could not influence the palatability and quality of the soy sauce. These findings provide an insight into A. oryzae with anomalous color conidium. © 2013 Association of Microbiologists of India.
