Semisolid fermentation of ryegrass straw to increase its animal feed value was successfully performed on a pilot scale. The pilot plant, which could handle 100 kg of straw per batch, was designed so that all major operations could take place in one vessel. The straw was hydrolyzed at 121 degrees C for 30 min with 0.5 N H2SO4 (7:3 liquid:solid), treated with ammonia to raise the pH to 5.0, inoculated with Candida utilis, and fermented in a semisolid state (70% moisture). During fermentation the straw was held stationary with air blown up through it. Batch fermentation times were 12 to 29 h. Semisolid fermentation did not require agitation and supported abundant growth at 20 to 40 degrees C even at near zero oxygen tensions. Fermentation increased the protein content, crude fat content, and in vitro rumen digestibility of the straw.

What is the difference between solid state and submerged fermentation?

Solid-state fermentation involves the growth of microorganisms on solid substrates (e.g., agricultural residues), usually in the absence of free-flowing water. In contrast, submerged fermentation occurs in liquid media where the microorganisms are submerged and suspended in the aqueous environment. Solid-state fermentation is typically used for the production of enzymes and organic acids, while submerged fermentation is common for the production of antibiotics and biofuels.

Definition of submerged fermentation?

Submerged fermentation is a type of fermentation process where microorganisms grow and produce desired products in a liquid medium. This method is commonly used in industrial settings for producing various products like antibiotics, enzymes, and organic acids. The microorganisms are fully submerged in the liquid medium, as opposed to solid-state fermentation where they grow on the surface of a solid substrate.

Submerged and solid state fermentation?

Fermentation processes can be carried out in two ways; surface or submerged production. Submerged production began in the 1930's and is the main method used today. The sterile medium and mould are added to a large tank where it is constantly mixed and a supply of sterile air is bubbled through (since the fermentation process is aerobic). The strain of mould used is different to that in surface production. The process can be used to make products such as citric acid, glycerol or lactic acid.
