TLDR
A unique method is described by which large yields of secondary metabolites arc produced on solid substrates using Aspergillus and Penicillium species, which prevents sporulation of the fungus and makes recovery of the product easier than in conventional liquid media.Abstract:
A unique method is described by which large yields of secondary metabolites arc produced on solid substrates. The process involves the use of moist substrates which are continuously agitated in appropriate fermentation equipment. The amount of agitation, aeration, and moisture can be varied. Extremely high yields of secondary metabolites such as ochratoxin and aflatoxin were obtained using Aspergillus and Penicillium species. The process prevents sporulation of the fungus and because of the nature of the solid substrate makes recovery of the product easier than in conventional liquid media. The substrates include rice, corn, wheat, and other cereals.read more

Xylanase and β‐xylosidase production by Aspergillus ochraceus during growth on lignocelluloses
TL;DR: In this article, the xylan enzymes are used in the degradation of biomaterials containing hemicellulose for the production of monosaccharides from which singlecell protein, single-cell oil, or ethanol could be produced.

Influence of cultivation conditions on the production of a thermostable extracellular lipase from Amycolatopsis mediterranei DSM 43304
TL;DR: Among several lipase-producing actinomycete strains screened, Amycolatopsis mediterranei DSM 43304 was found to produce a thermostable, extracellular lipase that exhibited remarkable stability in the presence of a wide range of organic solvents at 25% (v/v) concentration for 24 h.

Solid-state fermentation of grape pomace for ethanol production
TL;DR: Grape pomace was used as a substrate for the production of ethanol under solid-state fermentation conditions as discussed by the authors, and the yield of ethanol amounted to greater than 80% of the theoretical, based on the fermentable sugar consumed.

Mechanism of solid particle degradation by Aspergillus niger in solid state fermentation
TL;DR: Substrate (wheat bran) particle degradation studies were conducted in solid state fermentation employing Aspergillus niger CFTRI 1105 and a mathematical model was proposed for the degradation of the substrate particles during fermentation.
