Solid-State Fermentation Bioreactors Fundamentals of Design and Operation

by David A. Mitchell, Nadia Krieger, Marin Beroviˇc

friends solid-state fermentation (SSF) involves the growth of microorganisms on moist solid particles, in situations in which the spaces between the particles contain a continuous gas phase and a minimum of visible water. Here is the book.
This concise professional reference provides a fundamental framework for the design and operation of solid-state fermentation bioreactors, enabling researchers currently working at laboratory scale to scale up their processes. The authors survey bioreactor types in common use, and describe in depth how to plan a project, and model heat transfer phenomena. The book includes case studies, and a review of practical issues involved in bioreactor performance
