Abstract: The effect of varying concentrations of glucose, di-ammonium tartrate and carrot extract on the growth and yield of metabolic products of Aspergillus variecolor has been examined. Media containing 10% glucose, 0.43% di-ammonium tartrate and 400g carrot extract per liter broth increased the mycelial growth by 50% which further resulted in an increase in by 36.8% yield of crude xanthone and 29.5% manitol the metabolic products of Aspergillus variecolor.
