ABSTRACT
The influence of inositol on the growth of the mold A. clavatus-24 and on citric acid production by submerged fermentation has been studied and has been found that it deactivates the enzyme systems. It retards the production of citric acid as the growth increases up to 4.0×10-3 M in 5 days of incubation while it increases up to 3.0×10-3M concentration only within 10 and 15 days of incubation. Thus , it has been found that even the maximum yield of citric acid obtained within 10 and 15 days of incubation were far below than that in controls. However, the maximum yield obtained within 5 days of incubation was comparatively better than that in control
