Abstract

Abstract: Chitosan and metal/chitosan complex were evaluated comparatively for their anti-Aspergillus niger activity based on the mycelial growth and spore germination of the fungus. The results showed that both chitosan and metal-chitosan could effectively inhibit the mycelial growth of A. niger and its spore germination, while chitosan displayed lower antifungal activity than its complexes with Zn or Ni, and chitosan/ Ni complex showed the strongest antifungal activity. This biological activity of chitosan was largely influence by its molecular weight and concentration as well as environmental pH. The complex between chitosan with 5 kD molecular weight and Ni had the best inhibitory effect on A. niger. The inhibitory effect of chitosan/Ni complex revealed a change trend opposite to that of pH ranging from 3 to 7.5, but increased with increasing concentration from 0 to 0.75 mg/mL.

Key words: metal/chitosan complex, Aspergillus niger, antifungal activity
