Abstract

Gibberellic acid production in liquid fermentation was compared with production of this compound in solid-state fermentation systems using cassava flour, sugar cane bagasse and low density polyurethane. Gibberella fujikuroi produced 23 mg of gibberellin/ml in 120h of liquid fermentation. Solid-state fermentation on bagasse showed excellent growth but presented gibberellin extraction problems. Very low production and growth was observed in solid-state fermentation with low density polyurethane as an inert support. Solid-state fermentation on cassava flour showed high production (250 mg/kg of dry solid medium) in a very short time (36h).
