Design of solid state fermentor for production of fungal metabolites on large scale

  • Published:
Biotechnology Techniques

Summary

A large scale solid state fermentor of 150 tray capacity is designed with appropriate control system. It gave better productivity even at higher scale of operation as compared to lab and large scale units of similar type and largely overcomes some operational problems.
