Review Article
Characterization of Fungal Morphology using Digital Image Analysis Techniques
Author(s): Maria PapagianniMaria Papagianni
The use of filamentous fungi for the production of commercially important products is old but keeps increasing during the last decades. New classes of compounds are being added in the list of products of fungal fermentations as a result of progress in methodologies and applications of biotechnology. Fungi are morphologically complex organisms that differ in structure throughout their life cycle. In submerged fermentation fungal morphology may take distinct forms ranging from dispersed filaments to densely interwoven masses of mycelium known as pellets. Each morphological form has each own characteristics that have a critical impact on the overall process outcome. Dispersed growth results in highly viscous broths with pseudoplastic behavior that have a negative impact on mass and energy transfer rates resulting in higher energy input requirements. Due to the high industrial relevance o.. View More»
