Abstract:
Fungi Aspergiltus niger, Aspergiltus sp., Penicillum sp., Rhizopus, sp.,
Diplodia sp. and Trichoderma sp. were isolated from copra samples. These fungi
grew on copra and caused reduction in oil content under artificial inoculation
Except Rhizopus sp. all the organisms grew well in Richard's solution containing
coconut oil as carbon source. Trichoderma sp. has not been reported on copra
so far.
