Outline of Final Research Achievements

Mechanism of the fermentation heat production has been studied with indigo leave fermentation as a model reaction. Several fungal species especially Aspergillus oryzae contribute to the heat production. The current study has revealed that the heart productivity is not specific for the A. oryzae from indigo leave, but common to that from other source. Heart production was also observed during the growth of A. oryzae in a peptone-yeast extract medium. I attempted to clarify the implication of alternative oxidase (AOX) in the heat production by A. oryzae with salicylhydroxamic acid, an AOX inhibitor. The heat productivity was increased by the modification of solid state properties of the medium. The fermentation heat upon indigo leave fermentation could motorvate a Starling engine.
