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).EnglishThesis
