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

Screening cultures using solid state fermentation
TL;DR: In this paper, solid state fermentation has advantages over submerged fermentation that can be commercially exploited, at least for initial screening purposes, which relate mainly to higher concentrations of metabolites produced in Solid State fermentation and side activities.

Fermentation Parameters in Solid State Fermentation of Streptomyces sp. Cultured on Chitin
TL;DR: Strain abu was chosen for further work in SSF due to its ability to produce chitinase and antibiotic in solid state, and was optimised for use as a model system in the solid state degradation of crustacean shell waste.
Comparative study using banana peel and male flower as substrates for amylase production using Aspergillus nigerin Kerala
TL;DR: In this paper , it is suggested that banana peel and male inflorescence could employ as a promising substrate for the production of amylase by Aspergillus niger, and the addition of external growth medium is also found beneficial for increasing enzyme production.

Microbiological Production of Carotenoids. I. Zygospores and Carotene Produced by Intraspecific and Interspecific Crosses of Choanephoraceae in Liquid Media
TL;DR: It is reported that plus and minus strains of Choanephora cucurbitarum were capable of forming zygospores when grown together in liquid medium in shaken flasks, and yields of 960 t/g/g of 8-carotene in dry mycelium were found.
