Studies of some physical parameters for large scale protease production bySSF

For designing the large scale protease production system, through solid sta te fermentation, the important parameters are accumulation density, bed hei ght, aeration etc. The optimum fermentation condition recorded were 0.3125 g/cc accumulation density and 1.0 cm bed height (without aeration). Aeratio n at 3 LPM and 2.0 cm bed height were found optimum for protease production by Rhizopus oryzae.
