Summary
Metal ions and cassava extracts stimulated growth ofRhizopus oligosporus on a model solid substrate. A large improvement in protein content was obtained by simultaneously increasing the nitrogen content and decreasing the particle size of the substrate. No improvement occurred when these conditions were applied to cassava, however, because of the sticky consistency of the cassava after gelatinization.
