Background/Aim A new prototype of Solid-State Fermentation Bioreactor, namely "Zymotis-2 ",was developed to produce fungal spores. Main Methods and Major Results A fermentation process for fungal spores, and hydrolase enzymes (endo and exoglucanases, amylases) production by Trichoderma asperellum DWG3, Aspergillus niger G131 and Beauveria bassiana was scaled-up from flasks and glass Raimbault column packed with 20 g of solid substrates (dry weight) to 5 kg of solid substrate by using the new Zymotis-2 bioreactor. Fungi strains growth using a mix of vine shoots, wheat bran, and olive pomace was tested under similar experimental conditions in Zymotis-2 bioreactor, column bioreactor and flasks in a parallel fermentation system. Overall, significant spore production on Zymotis-2 bioreactor was obtained, achieving 22.01 +/- 0.01x10(9) spores/g DM 16.30 +/- 0.07 x 10(9) spores/g DM, and 3.30 +/- 0.07 x 10(9) spores/g DM for B. bassiana, T. asperellum DWG3, and A. niger G131, respectively. Forced aeration increased the endoglucanases, exoglucanases and amylases activities for T. asperellum DWG3 but B. bassiana and A. niger G131 were affected negatively by the aerated process, showing the lowest enzyme activities. Conclusions and Implications In conclusion, a high yield of spores was obtained at 137 h of cultivation time, confirming the validity of the new Zymotis-2 bioreactor to produce virulent spores at low cost by T. asperellum, B. bassiana and A. niger G131.
