The xylanase production by Cochliobolus sativus strain Cs6 was improved under solid state fermentation (SSF). High xylanase activity (1079 U/g) was obtained when wheat straw was used after 8 days of incubation. Combinations of sodium nitrate with peptone or yeast extract resulted in an increased xylanase production (1543 and 1483 U/g, respectively). The Cs6 strain grown in SSF in a simple mediu...

Three different fermentation processes for the production of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) were evaluated and compared in terms of economic aspects and environmental impact. The processes included: submerged fermentation of sucrose solution by Aspergillus japonicus using free cells or using the cells immobilized in corn cobs, and solid-state fermentation (SSF) using coffee silverskin as support ...

Orange bagasse comprising pulp tissues, rind, and seeds, constitutes a major industrial food waste arising from processing oranges for juice, and represents a fermentation feedstock for the production of enzymes. Botryosphaeria rhodina MAMB-05 grown on essential oils-extracted orange bagasse in submerged (SmF) and solid-state fermentation (SSF) with and without added nutrients produced pectinas...

BACKGROUND The use of agricultural and food by-products is an economical solution to industrial biotechnology. The apricot press residues are abounding by-products from juice industry which can be used as substrates in solid state fermentation process (SSF), thus allowing a liberation and increase of content from various biomolecules with high added value. METHODS The evolutions of phenolic l...

sesame oil cake (ssc) was bio-processed through solid state fermentation (ssf) under optimized conditions by a phytase-producing fish gut bacterium, bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis (jx292128). ssf significantly reduced anti-nutritional factors (e.g., phytic acid, tannins and trypsin inhibitor) and crude fibre, while enhanced free amino acids, fatty acids and different minerals. phytase product...

this work examined the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (ssf) process for the biological conversion rice wastewater into ethanol using co-culture of aspergillus niger (a. niger) and saccharomyces cerevisiae (s. cerevisiae) in batch condition. in this study, the a. niger and s. cerevisiae were used for hydrolysis and production of ethanol from rice wastewater, respectively. the effe...

Solid state fermentation (SSF) has been practiced for centuries in the Orient and Asian region in both large and small scale applications in food processing and production of traditional fermented foods. Products such as fermented soybean (tempe, soy sauce, annatto, miso, etc) and fermented rice (tapai, koji, red fermented rice, brewing of the Japanese rice wine (sake)) among others are based o...

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) processes involve the growth of microorganisms (typically fungi) on a solid material in the absence or near absence of free-flowing water. The wide range of solid materials used in SSF can be classified into two great categories: inert (synthetic materials) and non-inert (organic materials). The former only acts as an attachment place for the fungus, whereas the l...

Interest in the development of bioprocesses for the production or extraction of bioactive compounds from natural sources has increased in recent years due to the potential applications of these compounds in food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. In this context, solid-state fermentation (SSF) has received great attention because this bioprocess has potential to successfully convert inex...

Penicillium spp. are known to harbor a wide array of secondary metabolites with cryptic bioactivities. However, the metabolomics of these species is not well-understood in terms of different fermentation models and conditions. The present study involved metabolomics profiling and transcriptomic analysis of Penicillium expansum 40815 under solid-state fermentation (SSF) and submerged fermentatio...
