โฆ Synopsis
A simple mathematical model for the interaction of mass transport with biochemical reaction in solid state fermentations (SSF) in static tray type bioreactors under isothermal conditions has been developed. The analysis has enabled scientific explanations to a number of practical observations, through the concept of critical substrate bed thickness. The model will bemost useful in the prediction of the concentration gradients as also in efficient design of these bioreactors.

## Abstract The effect of wall cooling in trayโtype solidโstate fermenters was investigated by cultivation of __Aspergillus niger__ ATCC 10 864 on wheat bran. Temperature, moisture, pH and glucoamylase activity in the bed were monitored. Application of the heat exchanger plate reduced the overall w
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Heat removal is one of the major constraints in largeโscale solidโstate fermentation (SSF) processes. The effect of internal air circulation by forced convection on heat and water transfer has not been studied in SSF tray bioreactors. Formulation of a mathematical model
## Abstract We present a mathematical model that describes heat and mass transfer during solidโstate fermentation (SSF) of __Aspergillus oryzae__ in a wellโmixed rotating drum bioreactor (RDB). In addition to the substrate bed and the headspace, the model recognises the bioreactor wall as a subsyst
