Abstract :
The present study was aimed to study the effect of Vegetable peel waste Novel culture medium on the growth of Industrially Beneficial Fungi (Aspergillus niger and Penicillium chrysogenum). The Onion peel waste was the good low cost environmental free medium for the cultivation of an Industrially Beneficial Fungi Penicillium chrysogenum and Aspergillus niger when compared to the Garlic peel waste. It was also found that the Garlic peel has showed an average growth for Penicillium chrysogenum and the fungi Aspergillus niger did not showed any growth on Garlic peel medium. Garlic peel waste medium is the good source for Penicillium chrysogenum cultivation but not for the cultivation of Aspergillus niger. In comparison, the Onion peel waste act as a good source for the cultivation of Industrially Beneficial Fungi when compared to the Garlic peel waste.
