Abstract

Aspergillus awamori NRRL 4869 was cultured on the solid substrate, wheat bran, in a modified Rollacell apparatus to produce α‐galactosidase and invertase. The swivel cap on the elongated bottle permits the introduction of air while the bottle rotates. Parameters of air flow rate (0.05–0.2 liter/kg/min), rpm (0.15–15 rpm), and weight of solids (150 and 300 g) were varied. At low air flow rates (0.05 liter/kg solid/min), α‐galactosidase production was minimal independent of the rotation rate. At 0.15 rpm and 0.2 liter/kg solids/min air flow rate, invertase production ceased after five days; whereas α‐galactosidase production continued. The modified Rollacell can be a useful apparatus for studying solid‐substrate cultures.

## Abstract We present a mathematical model that describes heat and mass transfer during solid‐state fermentation (SSF) of __Aspergillus oryzae__ in a well‐mixed rotating drum bioreactor (RDB). In addition to the substrate bed and the headspace, the model recognises the bioreactor wall as a subsyst

The mixing and heat transfer phenomena within rotating drum bioreactors (RDBs) used for solid-state fermentation processes are poorly studied. The potential for the establishment of axial temperature gradients within the substrate bed was explored using a heat transfer model. For growth of Aspergill

To enhance metabolite transfer in the two initial sequential steps of xylose metabolism in yeast, two structural genes of Pichia stipitis, XYL } and XYL " encoding xylose reductase (XR) and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH), respectively, were fused in frame. Four chimeric genes were constructed, encoding
