Abstract
Fungal biomass waste obtained from industrial fermentation units can form an alternate source for harvest of chitosan The spent biomass waste procured from fermentation units handling Mucor, Rhizopus, Aspergillus and Tricoderma spps gave chitosan yield ranging from 90 to 110 mg% and a low degree of de-acetylation ranging between 40 to 61%. Such chitosan molecules showed statistically significant difference in the yield of groundnut and wheat plants when used as a plant growth elicitator molecules through seed imbibition technique.
