  abstract = {{T}he low water activity, the complex nature of the support and/or substrate, the concentation of substrates used and products formed, and the heterogeneity within the system, influence the growth and physiology of the microbial strains used in solid state fermentation ({SSF}). {A}s a result, the quality and quantity of the products formed from {SSF} processes significantly differ from those of submerged fermentation ({S}m{F}). {S}ome strains that performed well in {S}m{F} processes do not perform efficiently in {SSF} process. {T}herefore, it is necessary to maximize the potential of the organism through genetic manipulation to suit the {SSF} process. {S}ome of the desirable characteristics to be considered for the improvement of the microbial strains for {SSF} are : tolerance to low water activity and elevated temperature, deregulation of stringent metabolic controls, insensitivity to concentrations of the substrates and products. {T}he genes responsible for counteracting the effect of increased osmotic condition, temperature, carbon and nitrogen catabolite repression are to be identified in the {SSF} organisms. {T}hey may be suitable manipulated in the producers or/and may be transferred to the producer organism.
