The growth of M. purpureus on quinoa flour media enriched with different supplements was evaluated by measuring growth rate, biomass and mycelial pigments. The radial growth rate (Vcr) (mm h-1) was calculated by linear regression of the mycelial radii measured with digital vernier during days 2, 4, 6, 8, 8, 10 and 12. The fungal biomass was measured directly and indirectly by dry weight (g) and N-acetylglucosamine (mg) respectively, the indirect biomass was measured by UV-Vis spectrophotometry at λ=537 nm and the conversion was performed with the calibration curve. Pigment measurement was calculated by UV-Vis spectrophotometry as (AU/ml) at λ=400, 470 and 500 nm for yellow, orange and red pigments respectively. The results showed that there were significant differences in Vcr with one treatment per supplement being selected as having the highest Vcr value ordered from highest to lowest as S7T2, S3T2, S1T6, S5T2, S2T3, S4T2 and S6T1. Fungal biomass was analysed for treatments S6T1 and S7T2 where N-acetylglucosamine and biomass per dry weight were 1.41 and 2.26 times higher in S7T2 than in S6T1 at day 12. Regarding pigments, S6T1 and S7T2 treatments achieved yellow, orange and red pigment production of 1.99, 0.84 and 1.23 times in S7T2 with respect to S6T1 at day 12. Therefore, the use of quinoa flour-based culture media supplemented with either glucose, fructose, molasses, fermented fish, fish hydrolysate, monosodium glutamate and sodium chloride allowed the growth of M. purpureus, being the first reported study where a pseudocereal was used for fungal growth in Petri dishes.
