**Phosphate Limitation for Enhanced Citric Acid Fermentation Using Aspergillus niger Mutant UV-M9 on Semi-pilot Scale**

Asad-ur- Rehman, Sikander Ali and Ikram-ul-Haq

In the present investigation, the Aspergillus niger mutant UV-M9 was evaluated using phosphate limitations for enhanced citric acid production. Of the three phosphate sources, K₂HPO₄ was found to be the best yielding 75.25 gl^-1 of anhydrous citric acid. The sugar consumption was 112.5 gl^-1 while dry cell mass produced was 18.00 gl^-1. The mycelia were small pellets.
