Incubation time had no effect on the efficiency ratio [dry weight-acetylmethylcarbinol (AMC)] during the incubation times tested. The mycelium was more efficient in synthetic media at pH 3 and 4 than at pH 5 and 6. Mycelium also produced AMC more efficiently in apple juice and in synthetic media containing yeast extract or vitamins, especially thiamine. KCl, MgSO4 , and KH2 PO4 had significant suppressing effects on AMC production in a synthetic medium.
