Breeding of a Strain of Shochu-koji with High Productivity of Organic Acids

Abstract

A mutant of shochu-koji, P-11-54, having high organic acid productivity was bred from Aspergillus saitoi by ultraviotet light treatment. The acid production by the strain was 1.5 and 2 times as high as that by the parent strain, respectively, when cultured on steamed rice and steamed barley. The
