| Abstract |
Chitin production of mycelia from Mucor circinelloides (Mucor javanicus) was studied with a two-level factorial design in all combinations of the following factors in the culture medium: time of cultivation, concentration of D-glucose, L-asparagine and thiamine. Chitin was characterised by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The four factors showed statistically significant (95%) positive main effects on chitin production, without interactions between them. The highest chitin yield (23.9%) was obtained with the medium containing 60 g/l of glucose, 3 g/l of asparagine and 0.008 mg/l of thiamine and is comparable to the highest in the literature.
