    摘要: The subject invention provides methods and systems for producing microbe-based compositions that can be used in the oil and gas industry, environmental cleanup, agriculture, and many other applications. More specifically, the subject invention provides methods and systems for producing microorganisms and/or growth by-products thereof using a hybrid solid state-submerged fermentation method, wherein a matrix comprised of a solid material covered in an alginate coating is formed inside a liquid fermentation vessel. In some embodiments, the solid material is a plurality of natural loofa sponges.

    摘要: The subject invention provides for continuous production of advantageous microbes and/or by-products using a system capable of submerged fermentation, solid-state fermentation, and combinations thereof. In particular, the systems utilize cassettes or other similar containers as vessels for holding a solid substrate inoculated with a microorganism. The cassettes are aligned inside a tank, and the tank can optionally be filled with a liquid nutrient medium. The cassettes with substrate and growing microorganisms are removed from the tank for harvesting the microorganism, and a new, sterilized cassette with substrate can be replaced into the tank.
