Quantitative Morphological Analysis of Filamentous Microorganisms in Cocultures and Monocultures: <i>Aspergillus terreus</i> and <i>Streptomyces rimosus</i> Warfare in Bioreactors

The aim of this study was to quantitatively characterize the morphology of the filamentous microorganisms <i>Aspergillus terreus</i> ATCC 20542 and <i>Streptomyces rimosus</i> ATCC 10970, cocultivated in stirred tank bioreactors, and to characterize their mutual influence wit...
