Penicillium crustosum mycelium contained 30 to 35 per cent protein with appreciable amount of all the essential amino acids. The present investigation was, therefore, undertaken to study the Penicillium crustosum protein for its quality and the effect of its supplementation to wheat flour on growth rate and Protein Efficiency Ratio.
