This wide range of equipment is a necessity, as solid-state fermentation culture media are heterogeneous and have different physical properties, making it impossible to adapt the same processes and reactors for production. Innovation and technical improvements have enabled progress to be made with the various models applying the tray technique or the deep-layer technique.
7.1 Laboratory equipment
The main equipment used in the laboratory is the Petri dish, into which an agar medium...
