A study was made of some salient parameters that influence growth of the methanol-utilizing fungus Trichoderma lignorum growing in batch culture on a minimal medium containing methanol as the sole source of carbon. Maximum cell yield was recorded at the expense of 1.58 g of methanol per liter. Inhibition was observed with methanol concentrations in excess of 4.7 g/liter. The optimum temperature for fungal growth was 23 degrees C. Growth of the fungus was directly proportional to an inorganic nitrogen concentration up to 0.2 g of NH4NO3 per liter. No inhibition of growth occurred at any concentration of NH4NO3 up to 11 g/liter. The pH of the growth medium decreased from 7.0 to 3.5 during growth of the fungus on methanol, which may have been due, in part, to the accumulation of trace amounts of organic acids in the growth medium. An analysis of the commercial potential of the fungus, as a source of edible protein, indicated that the strain of methanol-utilizing T. lignorum used was uneconomical in terms of the yield and the specific growth rate.
