1. The influence of temperature on pectinase production by the following species of Rhizopus was studied: nigricans, reflexus, microsporus, delemar, oryzae, chinensis, nodosus, tritici, and maydis.

According to the authors, the main limitation associated with the Rhizopus species is the low lactic acid production and productivity. However, "optimization of process parameters, such as pH and ...
