are serious difficulties associated with the direct measurement of cell
biomass in SSF systems, a weighing method could provide improve-
ment in kinetic studies of such processes. In fact, bioprocess model-
ing including cells and cultures can be valuable in optimizing and
controlling actual production operations in addition to managing a
system description. Also, several challenges exist at each stage in the
development of models of enzyme production kinetics.
3.4.2 Prospect
Over the past couple of years, SSF involving growth of microbes on
moist solid substrate(s) in the absence of free flowing water has gained
a tremendous momentum owing to certain advantages over the con-
ventional SmF, such as low production cost, ...
