Aspergillus Brasiliensis (ATCC 16404) Tests

Aspergillus brasiliensis is a fungus that produces black spores that disperse easily in the medium. There are around 180 species of aspergillus, but as many as 40 of them are known to cause infection in humans. This mushroom is widely used in industry, especially in enzyme production. It is heat resistant and resists temperature changes from extreme heat to freezing. In addition, this mushroom can be found almost everywhere.

The presence or absence of the fungus Aspergillus brasiliensis is one of the standard quality control tests required in many pharmacopoeias of the world.

Developed by the ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) Standards Development Organization, the ATCC 16404 standard is for research use only. Not intended for any animal or human therapeutic or diagnostic use. This standard is designed to help users obtain live cultures for their work. However, the conditions or procedures given in this standard are not optimal. Researchers can initiate the growth of a culture in their own way.

In short, aspergillus is a filamentous fungus (mold) that has spread all over the world. In nature, it lives among straw and decaying plant residues. It causes a serious respiratory disease in animals, especially birds.

In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. Aspergillus brasiliensis (ATCC 16404) testing services are among the numerous tests performed in this context.
