Solid state fermentation is especially suitable for the cultivation of filamentous organisms, like ascomycetes and basidiomycetes, but also for various yeasts and bacteria.<ref name=":0" /> As diverse as these microorganisms are also the possible substrates and thus feedstocks. As described above, the feedstock can be a food product, such as rice or wheat bran. Agro-industrial residues such as cassava bagasse are e.g. used for the production of citric acid via SSF.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Citric acid production by solid-state fermentation on a semi-pilot scale using different percentages of treated cassava bagasse|year=2005-12|author=F.
