Type of Fermentation Description (+) Advantages/ (-) Disadvantages

There are two main types of fermentation methods: solid state fermentation and submerged liquid fermentation. Solid state fermentation involves the growth of microorganisms on moist solid particles with minimal visible water. It has advantages such as low energy requirements, easy product separation, and ability to use waste materials. Submerged liquid fermentation involves microorganisms growing submerged in a liquid fermentation medium and can be used for large-scale production but has disadvantages of difficulty in mass transfer and higher contamination risk.

Type of Fermentation Method


Type of Fermentation

Solid State
Fermentation (SSF)

Submerged Liquid
Fermentation

Description
Involves the growth of
microorganisms on
moist solid particles, in
which the spaces
between particles
contain a continuous
gas phase and minimum
visible water (Mitchell,
D. et al, 2006)

[+] Advantages/ [-]


Disadvantages
- Low energy
requirements
- Small volume of
fermentation mas or
reactor volume
- Lower chance of
contamination due to
low moisture level
- Easy product separation
-Use of waste or spent low
value
raw material to
produce high value products

-fermentation wherein
microorganism
employed grows in
submerged state within
the fermentation media

-can be used for large scale


production
-difficulty in the mass transfer
-contamination, water activity
is too high
