Role of Broth Media on Growth of Aspergillus Niger

Aspergillus niger was isolated from the seed of Vigna unguiculata var.sesquipedalis(L) Verdcourt. Biomass production of isolate were quantitatively determined in five different broth media. The selected broth media were Asthana Hawker’s, Potato Dextrose, Richards’s, Sabouraud Dextrose and Yeast Extract. Aspergillus niger produced more biomass in Richards’s broth followed by Sabouraud Dextrose broth, Potato Dextrose broth, Yeast Extract broth and Asthana Hawker’s broth.
