Abstract

A growth experiment was conducted at Madhav Science College , Ujjain , India   to find out the optimum growth requirements of flower decomposing fungi. In this experiment, Selected test fungi i.e. Penecillium sp., Aspergillus sp., Mucor sp.,Rhizopus sp. ,  Alterneria sp.etc, were taken and allow to grow in various kinds of  media viz. semi defined media with floral extract , chemical defined media,  semi defined media  with yeast extract  and semi defined media with floral extract & yeast extract. After incubation, observations indicate that semi defined media with yeast extract and floral extract is more suitable for fungal growth and absence of yeast extract slightly affect the fungal growth.

Keywords

Basal medium floral extract, fungi decomposition yeast extract
