Solid state fermentation of lipopeptide antibiotic iturin A by using a novel solid state fermentation reactor system

Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2009
A new solid state fermentation reactor (SSFR) for solid substrate was used for the production of lipopeptide antibiotic iturin A using Bacillus subtilis RB14-CS. Solid state fermentation (SSF) is the technique of cultivation of microorganisms on solid and moist substrates in the absence of free water.

Solid‐state fermentation of sweet sorghum to ethanol

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 1985
AbstractSolid‐state fermentation of chopped sweet sorghum particles to ethanol was studied in static flasks using an ethanol tolerant yeast strain. The influence of various process parameters, such as temperature, yeast cell concentration, and moisture content, on the rate and extent of ethanol fermentation was investigated.

Solid-state fermentation — are there any biotechnological advantages?

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2005
Solid-state fermentation (SSF) has developed in eastern countries over many centuries, and has enjoyed broad application in these regions to date. By contrast, in western countries the technique had to compete with classical submerged fermentation and, because of the increasing pressure of rationalisation and standardisation, it has been widely ...

Aspects of fermenter design for solid-state fermentations

Process Biochemistry, 1991
Abstract Solid-state fermentation has gained importance recently due to several advantages over submerged fermentations. Bioreactor design aspects, which are important criteria, however, have not been given enough attention by researchers of solid-state fermentations and the present state of knowledge does not indicate an ideal type of bioreactor for

Kinetics of Solid-state Fermentation

2008
Kinetic studies in SSF are generally considered difficult as the heterogeneous nature of the SSF processes poses difficulty in biomass estimation. This is because the biomass cannot be separated from the fermenting substrate, a fact, which does not allow to obtain a homogeneous sample during the fermentation.

A novel structured bioreactor for solid-state fermentation

Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering, 2012
A novel patented solid-state bioreactor (251 L) with honeycomb loading device was designed and its performance was tested. First, this apparatus gave a 66.87 % of calculated loading coefficient (volume ratio), which was almost twofold compared with conventional fermenters.

Informatics in Solid-state Fermentation

2008
The technological progress in informatics and computation sciences has been increasing faster than most could imagine or even understand, not only because of its velocity but essentially because of its large scope of applications. With constant improvements of performance features and relative drop of prices, these equipments are more and more cost ...

Composting and Solid State Fermentation

1999
Large amounts of organic materials are produced annually in nature that are degraded by microbial action. The decomposition of organic materials takes place slowly on the surface of ground at ambient temperatures. The natural process of degradation can be speeded up by gathering organic material into heaps to conserve part of the heat of fermentation ...

Solid state fermentation—An overview

International Biodeterioration, 1987
Abstract Since ancient times many solid state fermentations have utilized fungi and bacteria, almost always in mixed culture. The discovery and development of penicillin led to extensive use of liquid fermentations using actinomycetes and fungi and to subsequent neglect of research on solid state fermentations and the use of mixed cultures.

Respiration studies of penicillin solid-state fermentation

Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2000
An earlier work showed that when the bagasse content (BC) of the solid medium was decreased within a wide range of values, penicillin production by solid-state fermentation was always increased. Respiration studies were performed to understand how BC controls the secondary metabolism in this culture system.
