Mass transfer plays an important role in solid state fermentation (SSF) systems. Earlier work on SSF in tray bioreactors' indicated that steep gaseous concentration gradients developed within the substrate bed, owing to mass transfer resistances, which may adversely affect the bioreactor performance
