To evaluate the influence of water activity (aw), temperature and pH on the radial growth and lag phase of Physisporinus vitreus (E-642), a basidiomycete was used in the biotechnological process of bioincising. Radial growth was monitored for 20 days on malt extract agar medium. Five levels of aw (0...
