Aspergillus flavus: A degrader of commercial brake fluids

The role of; Aspergillus flavus during the deterioration of brake fluids; was identified. impact A. on used and unused were studied. This research carried out at University Port Harcourt from September 2019 to November 2020. Abro Jenox DOT3 fluids samples for this research. sample included their counterpart. Tests identify microorganisms physico-chemical parameters; done. Total viable count, pH optical density; tested check level biodeterioration. Biodeterioration rate more in fluid than fluid. is a major biodegrader samples. count density increased as days progressed biodeterioration while decreased. Brake an essential needed by most vehicles function. It necessary top-up or substitutes; appropriate time. No two brands are same. Therefore, it advisable not mix.
