2.1 e Fundamental Performance Requirement
of a Solid- State Fermentation Bioreactor
e solid- state fermentation bio reac tor provides an appropriate envi-
ronment and space for microbial growth and production of metabo-
lites on the solid substrates (Pandey, 2003; Hölker and Lenz, 2005;
Krishna, 2008).
