PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for culturing a mold in a specific liquid culture medium to form the spores useful for the production of fermented foods, etc., enabling to stimulate the formation of the spores by the irradiation of visible light. SOLUTION: This method for culturing a mold comprises culturing the mold such as a fungus belonging to the genus Penicillium in a liquid culture medium containing glucose as a carbon source in the components to form the spores of the mold. Therein, visible light is irradiated on the culture medium. The visible light is preferably irradiated in an illuminance of 200-7000 luxes for a period of 3-7 days. |
