## Abstract We present a mathematical model that describes heat and mass transfer during solidβstate fermentation (SSF) of __Aspergillus oryzae__ in a wellβmixed rotating drum bioreactor (RDB). In addition to the substrate bed and the headspace, the model recognises the bioreactor wall as a subsyst
A two-dimensional heat transfer model was validated against two experimental studies from the literature which describe the growth of Aspergillus niger during solid-state fermentation in packed bed bioreactors. With the same set of model parameters, the twodimensional model was able to describe both
## Abstract An experimental device was constructed to allow nearly simultaneous measurements to be made on temperature and gas composition at different depths in a solidβsubstrate fermentation bed. The timeβdependent values of temperature, mol % O~2~ and mol % CO~2~ were measured at five positions
