Abstract
Colorimetric determination of chitin content of nine aero-aquatic hyphomycetes showed that the conversion factor (CF) values (chitin content per unit dry weight of mycelium) varied with the age of mycelium, nutrient content of the medium, and initial oxygen concentration of the water. CF values often decreased with age of mycelium and also with lowered oxygen concentrations. Consequently, for estimation of fungal biomass in tissues, this technique is of limited value.
