Abstract
Two moulds — Aspergillus flavus and Alternaria tenuissima — were isolated from wheat-based fast foods in Nigeria and their cultural conditions determined. A warm ascorbic acid environment is preferred by A. flavus but aeration enhances the growth of both organisms. At 45°C, Al. tenuissima is unaffected by vitamins. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of sodium chloride for A. flavus and Al. tenuissima are 5% and 10% w/v respectively. Lysine, casein hydrolysate, phenylalanine, raffinose, rhamnose and stachyose enhance growth in both species.
