Malaysia is the largest country that has produced many types of waste. One of it is Meranti wood sawdust. These wastes result in a significant environmental problem if not dispose it in the proper manner. The main objective of this article is to produce the high yield of sorbitol by solid state fermentation (SSF) process from pretreated Meranti wood sawdust using bacterium Lactobacillus plantarum (BAA 793; NCIMB 8826). One factorat a time (OFAT) was studied for further process using solid state fermentation (SSF) process and investigated the effect of relevant parameters (fermentation time, range: 2 hours to 14 hours, moisture content, range: 40% to 90%, temperature, range: 25 oC to 45 oC) to the solid-state fermentation (SSF) process in producing high yield of sorbitol. The highest product yield was obtained at 50% moisture content, at 10 hours of fermentation time and 35 oC of incubation temperature where the concentration of sorbitol was 25.68 g/L respectively. This study also showed that the solid state fermentation (SSF) process will produce the high yield of sorbitol production compared to the submerged fermentation and could serve as a-low cost substrate for bioproducts production especially sorbitol

Ability of two strains ofAspergillus terreus(ATCC 74135 and ATCC 20542) for production of lovastatin in solid state fermentation (SSF) using rice straw (RS) and oil palm frond (OPF) was investigated. Results showed that RS is a better substrate for production of lovastatin in SSF. Maximum production of lovastatin has been obtained usingA. terreusATCC 74135 and RS as substrate without additional nitrogen source (157.07 mg/kg dry matter (DM)). Although additional nitrogen source has no benefit effect on enhancing the lovastatin production using RS substrate, it improved the lovastatin production using OPF with maximum production of 70.17 and 63.76 mg/kg DM forA. terreusATCC 20542 andA. terreusATCC 74135, respectively (soybean meal as nitrogen source). Incubation temperature, moisture content, and particle size had shown significant effect on lovastatin production (P<0.01) and inoculums size and pH had no significant effect on lovastatin production (P>0.05). Results also have shown that pH 6, 25°C incubation temperature, 1.4 to 2 mm particle size, 50% initial moisture content, and 8 days fermentation time are the best conditions for lovastatin production in SSF. Maximum production of lovastatin using optimized condition was 175.85 and 260.85 mg/kg DM forA. terreusATCC 20542 and ATCC 74135, respectively, using RS as substrate.

The search for new production methodologies of gibberellic acid (GA3), such as solid-state fermentation (SSF), and the use of agro-industrial waste are important to lower production costs. Therefore, the aim of this study was GA3 production by Fusarium fujikuroi on SSF mode using brewer’s spent grains (BSG). BSG presents in its composition components that are known to be excellent inducers of metabolite production, showing, this way, its potential to be used as the substrate in biotechnological processes. Optimization of GA3 production was carried out using a 22 central composite design, considering the effects of moisture content, temperature, and fermentation time. The highest mycelial growth and GA3 production (0.82 g.Kg-1) was obtained in the condition of 80% moisture content, 28 °C in 96 hours of fermentation. These results suggest that the SSF using BSG as the medium for the growth of F. fujikuroi is a viable way to GA3 produce.

Pelleting can increase the efficiency of handling and transportation of biomass. Pretreatment obtains lignin fragments by disrupting the lignocellulosic structure of biomass and ensures the high-quality compressed pellets. In this study, solid-state fermentation (SSF) is used as a biological method to improve the quality of pellets of oat straw. SSF of oat straw using Trametes versicolor 52J (TV52J) and Phanerochaete chrysosporium (PC) was conducted. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed by using a four-factor, three-level Box–Behnken design with fermentation time (days), moisture content (%), particle size (mm), and fermentation temperature (°C) as independent parameters. Pellet density, dimensional stability, and tensile strength were the response variables. The optimization options of fermentation time (33.96 and 35 days), moisture content (70%), particle size (150 and 50 mm), and fermentation temperature (22°C) of oat straw pretreated with these two fungal strains were obtained. The microscopic structural changes of oat straw caused by biological pretreatment were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Observation results of SEM showed that the connection between single fibers became relatively loose, and this was beneficial to improve the physical quality of the pellets.

In this study, the biomass of banana peel was used to produce pectinase via optimization of solid-state fermentation conditions of the filamentous fungi Aspergillus nigeA. niger). The operating conditions of solid-state fermentation were optimized using the method of full factorial design with incubation temperature ranging between 25 °C and 35 °C, moisture content between 40% and 60%, and inoculum size between 1.6 x 106 spores/mL and 1.4 x 107 spores/mL. Optimizing the solid-state fermentation conditions appeared crucial to minimize the sample used in this experimental design and determine the significant correlation between the operating conditions. A relatively high maximal pectinase production of 27 UmL-1 was attained at 35° C of incubation, 60% of moisture content, and 1.6 x 106 spores/mL of inoculum size with a relatively low amount of substrate (5 g). Given that the production of pectinase with other substrates (e.g., pineapple waste, lemon peel, cassava waste, and wheat bran) generally ranges between 3 U/mL and 16 U/mL (Abdullah et al., 2018; Handa et al., 2016; Melnichuk et al., 2020; Thangaratham and Manimegalai, 2014; Salim et al., 2017), thus the yield of pectinase derived from the banana peel in this study (27 U/mL) was considered moderately high. The findings of this study indicated that the biomass of banana peel would be a potential substrate for pectinase production via the solid-state fermentation of A. niger.

The objective of this work was to optimize the production and characterize α-amylase produced by Aspergillus niger through solid state fermentation, using leaf residues of C. linearifolius as substrate. For optimization, the incubation temperature, initial humidity and fermentation time were combined based on Doehlert experimental design. The highest productivity of the enzyme was 122.88 Ug-1, at 33oC, 70% humidity and 14 days of time. In the enzymatic characterization, the enzyme extract presented pH 5.0 and temperature 50oC, and α-amylase was thermostable up to 60oC, maintaining more than 90% of the activity. In evaluation of the effect of salt addition, sodium carbonate, calcium chloride, iron chloride, and cobalt chloride increased the enzymatic activity of α-amylase, while potassium and sodium from their chlorides served as enzyme inhibitors. The Km and Vmax values ​​found were 0.04 mg/mL and 46.95 µmol/min/mL, respectively, indicating that the substrate has affinity for α-amylase. Therefore, the results demonstrate that the residues of C. linearifolius can be used as a substrate for A. niger in the production of enzymatic extracts, such as α-amylase.

Carotenoid compounds are popular natural antioxidants which are commonly isolated from the plants. Recently, there have been many researches on carotenoid biosynthesis towards low cost products. In this study, Rhodotorula sp. was grown on an agricultural byproduct (corncobs) as a matrix in solid-state fermentation. Essential nutrients were added with different concentrations to optimize condition for the carotenoid biosynthesis. Effects of other environmental factors such as moisture content and fermentation time on the yield were also characterized. The optimal nutrient composition for the yeast’s growth and carotenoid biosynthesis is a compound of 500μg nitrogen and 16mg carbon in 100g matrix. Additionally, the moisture content of 80% is the best for producing carotenoid by this yeast strain. The fermentation time for the highest carotenoid yield is observed after 8 days.

The amylase producing fungi were isolated from spoiled fruits, vegetables and soil, in and around Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The isolates were identified and five fungal species were screened. The best amylase producer among them, Aspergillus sp was selected for enzyme production by both sub merged fermentation using mineral salt medium (MSM) and solid state fermentations using wheat bran as a solid substrate. The various parameters influencing solid state fermentation were optimized. The most important factors are such as pH, incubation temperature, incubation period, carbon sources, nitrogen sources and moisture content. The maximum amount of enzyme production was obtained when solid state fermentation was carried out with soluble starch as carbon source and beef extract (1% each) as nitrogen source, optimum conditions of pH 7.0, an incubation temperature of 25 (±2) °C, incubation time 96 h and 62% moisture content.
