  abstract = {{A} new prototype of a disposable solid-state culture bioreactor ({DSSCB}) belonging to the packed-bed category is developed for the production of fungal conidia. {T}he bioreactor has the advantages of being autoclavable, lightweight and disposable. {W}ith a working volume of 39.52 {L}, it can be used for large-scale production of fungal conidia. {T}he {DSSCB} was successfully tested under forced aeration for the production of conidia (2.1 x 10(10)/g dry substrate in 140 h) from {T}richoderma asperellum, a biocontrol fungus. {A} mixture of sugarcane bagasse, wheat bran, olive pomace, potato flakes and vine shoots was used as substrate. {T}he {DSSCB} allowed an overall production of 1.26 x 10(14) conidia. {B}ased on its configuration, the fermented substrate can be easily transported and used in either solid or liquid form, for biocontrol application. {T}his is a significant advance in the field of biomass production in solid-state culture as problems associated with the decontamination of the bioreactor prior to its reuse can be avoided. {T}he study demonstrated that the {DSSCB} is suitable for the production of conidia using {T}. asperellum.
