Abstract
Solid state fermentation (SSF) as a microbial method taking place mostly on the surface of solid materials that have the property to absorb or contain water, with or without soluble nutrients (Viniegra-Gonzalez 1997). SSF is a cultivation method in which microorganisms are grown under controlled conditions on moist solid particles, in beds within which there is a continuous gas phase between the particles, with sufficient moisture is present to maintain microbial growth and metabolism (Rahardjo et al., 2006; Mitchell et al., 2011).
