Aspergillus oryzae |
|
A. oryzae, a member of the flavi group, can be mistaken for an ochre aspergilli on DG18 because its characteristic golden-brown colour is paler in this medium sometimes becoming beige. Its other macroscopic distinguishing character, its fast growth rate, is also somewhat controlled on this medium.
