摘要：Rhizopus group organisms produce a variety of fermented foods and industrial products including enzymes, organic acids, lipid derivatives, pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics. Some strains of Rhizopus are good lactic acid producers, with many advantages over lactic acid producing bacteria. Lactic acid has a wide range of application in food processing industry. In this study, growth and lactic acid production of Rhizopus oryzae in response to different NaCl and KCl concentrations in the culture were investigated. The growth and lactic acid production depended on the salt concentration, they decreased as the salt concentration increased. The type of salt did not result in significant differences in terms of growth and lactic acid production.
