Monascus purpureus Went grew better in glucose-peptone-yeast extract broth than in any
other natural medium tried, and did not grow nearly so well in a Czapek-Dox mineral-salts …

SUMMARY In Czapek-Dox media (5% D-glucose) zinc uptake by Monascus purpureus was
correlated with an increase in both phosphate and D-glucose uptake, increased growth, and …

Growth studies indicate that ammonium compounds are preferred inorganic nitrogen
sources for Monascus purpureus, and that nitrites are better than nitrates. Each of several …

The growth of Mycobacterium smegmatis was inhibited by lack of zinc in a glycerol+
asparagine medium depleted of trace metals but enriched with iron. Addition of zinc to this …

Growth and pigment production of Monascus purpureus were affected by the ratio of glucose
to ammonium nitrate concentration in a synthetic medium. Mycelial growth increased with an …

Raulin (1869) first demonstrated that Aspergillus niger requires, besides the usual elements,
traces of certain other ele-ments, notably zinc, iron, silicon and possibly manganese …

Investigations conducted during recent years have proved that zinc is essential to the growth
of some, if not all, higher plants. Roberg (37) reported the results of. an investigation of the …

Growth, pigmentation and antibacterial activity of Monascus purpureus Went (starch fungus)
were affected by zinc. Zinc at concentrations of 2× 10‐3M and 3× 10‐3M nearly stopped the …

When uredospores (urediniospores) were used as inoculum, glucose and sucrose
supported good colonial growth of Melampsora lini (Ehrenb.) Lév, strain 1 and race 79, both …

Calcium has a striking effect on the growth of S. pastorianus when ammonium salts are
given as the nitrogen source, provided the medium contains small amounts of zinc. Zinc or …
