Four isolates of Aspergillus niger (viz., CA16, 14/20, HB3 and 318) were used for citric acid production using sugarcane bagasse as a substrate and sucrose solution as a moistening agent. Using 3 g of sugarcane bagasse as substrate, the highest citric acid production was obtained when 10 ml of 14% sucrose solution was used as moistening agent. Maximum citric acid production was found after 11 days fermentation for all isolates of A. niger. Both sugar utilization as well as citric acid production was found highest in the presence of Prescott salt by A. niger 318 (196.21 ìg/g), followed next by A. niger 14/20 (103.06 ìg/g). However, in absence of Prescott salt both sugar utilization and citric acid production was highest (50.01 ìg/g) by A. niger 14/20. In general, extension of the fermentation (up to 11 days) resulted in an increase in citric acid, total titratable acid and biomass, and decrease in both residual sugar concentrations.

The aim of this work was to study the relation between citric acid production and respiration of Aspergillus niger LPB 21 in solid-state fermentation of cassava bagasse. The experiments were carried out in horizontal drum bioreactor coupled with a gas chromatography system. Fermentation was conduced for 144 h with initial substrate moisture of 60% using heat-treated cassava bagasse as sole carbon source. The exhausted air from the bioreactor was analyzed for the monitoring of CO2 produced and O2 consumed in order to estimate the biomass biosynthesis by the fungal culture. The metabolic activity of A. niger growth was associated to citric acid production. The system using FERSOL software determined 4.372 g of biomass/g of consumed O2. Estimated and analytically determined biomass values followed the same pattern showing that the applied mathematical model was adapted.
