Solid state fermentation (SSF) is a bioconversion process by microorganism and enzymes. It effectively depolymerizes the cellulose, ligno cellulose present in the agricultural produces, cereals and biomas. It also enriches protein, colour, antioxidant activity, modification of functional properties of cereals. Solid state fermentation provides wide range of application in food and bio processin...

Cyclosporin A (CyA) is found as an antibiotics, exhibiting immunosuppressive and antifungal properties. Cyclosporine A has been synthesized in large quantities by fermentation process using various fungal species such as Tolypocladium, Trichoderma, Fusarium Penicillium and Aspergillus spp. Submerged liquid fermentation (SLF) and solid state fermentation (SSF) have been used successfully to prod...

optimization of the fermentation medium for maximum alkaline protease production was carried out. fifteen positive isolates were examined for their extent of alkaline protease production. the most potent producer was identified as bacillus sp. the solid substrate screening showed that the combination of wheat straw and bean husk was the best one. the initial screening by using plackett–burman’s...

BACKGROUND Bioethanol production from biomass is becoming a hot topic internationally. Traditional static solid state fermentation (TS-SSF) for bioethanol production is similar to the traditional method of intermittent operation. The main problems of its large-scale intensive production are the low efficiency of mass and heat transfer and the high ethanol inhibition effect. In order to achieve ...

in this study the effect of different nitrogen source substrates on the amount of chitosan production by aspergillus niger was investigated. a. niger ptcc 5012 from the persian type culture collection (ptcc) was grown on soy bean, corn seed and canola residues at 30 °c for specified cultivation days under sterilized conditions. chitosan was extracted from the fungal mycelia using hot alkaline a...

In this study, solid state fermentation (SSF) was carried out to produce single cell protein (SCP) from sugarcane bagasse using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The SSF experiment were performed in a tray bioreactor. The influence of several parameters including extraction buffer, initial moisture content of substrate, fermentation time, relative humidity in bioreactor, the bioreactor temperature and ...

different control strategies of bed temperature and moisture were investigated using various inlet air temperatures and air fluxes in both the ordinary packed bed bioreactor (without cooling water in the jacket) and the bioreactor with cooling water in jacket. the experiments were carried out within a 1-l solid-state packed bed bioreactor in which aspergillus niger was cultivated on wheat bran....

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) of vinegar wastes saves environmental resources and helps to recover valuable material for lignocellulose purposes. The development of solid-state fermentation technology is very important for the production of cellulase and ultimately for utilization of natural cellulose. However, inadequate dissipation of heat generated by biological activities has prevented sol...

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is envisioned as a prominent bio conversion technique to transform natural raw materials into a wide variety of chemical as well as biochemical products. SSF is being successfully exploited for food production, fuels, enzymes, antibiotics, animal feeds and also for dye degradation. The reuse of agro-industrial wastes in SSF processes is of particular interest due ...
