Aspergillus oryzae

Microbial Inoculant & Fungal Biostimulant for Composting and Soil Fertility

Aspergillus oryzae is a filamentous, spore-forming beneficial soil fungus used as a microbial inoculant and biostimulant to enhance nutrient availability, organic matter breakdown, and microbial balance in the rhizosphere. This plant growth-promoting fungus (PGPF) produces high levels of hydrolytic enzymes that accelerate lignin and cellulose degradation, making it a key agent for composting, nutrient cycling, and soil fertility improvement.

Used across diverse cropping systems, A. oryzae improves nitrogen availability, solubilizes phosphate and potassium, and enhances plant resilience under abiotic stress. Its compatibility with organic farming systems and microbial consortia makes it an effective soil probiotic and component of regenerative agriculture.

Main Functions:

  • Decomposes organic matter through production of cellulases, proteases, and lipases
  • Supports nitrogen mineralization and nutrient mobilization, including phosphorus and micronutrients
  • Acts as a phosphate- and potassium-solubilizing fungus via organic acid secretion
  • Enhances drought and salinity tolerance by improving antioxidant response and root zone adaptation
  • Accelerates composting and silage fermentation by supporting composting microbes and feed digestibility
