Inhibition of Asexual Sporulation and Growth of Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus oryzae by Propylamine

Effects of propylamine on conidial head formation and growth of Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus oryzae were analyzed. Propylamine inhibited conidial head formation in these two fungi, and the inhibitory effect of propylamine was not suppressed by the addition of potassium cloride at high concentra...

Zusammenfassung:	Effects of propylamine on conidial head formation and growth of Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus oryzae were analyzed. Propylamine inhibited conidial head formation in these two fungi, and the inhibitory effect of propylamine was not suppressed by the addition of potassium cloride at high concentration, which promotes conidial head formation in A. nidulans and A. oryzae. Propylamine also inhibited the growth of A. niger and A. oryzae by 41% and 32%, respectively, when the concentration of propylamine was 2%.
