Agro-industrial waste is highly nutritious in nature and facilitates microbial growth. Most
agricultural wastes are lignocellulosic in nature; a large fraction of it is composed of
carbohydrates. Agricultural residues can thus be used for the production of various value-

sugar cane bagasse, corn cob and rice bran, have been widely investigated via different
fermentation strategies for the production of enzymes. Solid-state fermentation holds much …
