Solid-State Fermentation Technology for Bioconversion of Biomass and Agricultural Residues

  • Chapter
Biotechnology for Agro-Industrial Residues Utilisation

Abstract

Solid-state fermentations (SSF) have attracted a renewed interest and attention from researchers due to recent developments in the field of microbial-biotechnology. Hence, for the practical, economical and environmentally-friendly bioconversion of agro-industrial wastes, solid state or substrate fermentation has been researched globally and proved to be the ideal technology for this purpose. In this chapter some important aspects of solid-state cultivation system have been discussed, including the variety of substrates and microorganisms used in SSF for the production of various end products; and the performance control of system by regulation of important factors.
