Effect of pretreatment on production of citric acid from oil palm empty fruit bunches as substrate by wild aspergillus niger

An investigation was carried out to evaluate the effect of pretreatment of oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) as new substrate for the production of citric acid through solid state bioconversion (SSB) in laboratory scale by Aspergillus niger. The experiment was carried out to observe the productivit...
