Information here is based off a paper from researchers at the University of Denmark, working at the Novozymes A/S Fermentation Pilot Plant, who wanted to develop a mathematical model for enzyme production with *A. oryzae* in submerged culture [3]. Even though they scrubbed some critical units and sig-figs from their research (for proprietary reasons), it was still enough to piece together details of the process. The process is similar to any other submerged, septic, aerated culture:

A seed train is propagated from a pure culture of A. oryzae and then added to an aerated, stirred bioreactor and allowed to grow. The substrate is typically a mixture of food industry by-products such as starch, wheat bran, corn steep powder, and minerals. Once the culture reaches a certain point, the bioreactor is harvested to yield a crude mixture of enzymes, mycelia, and leftover substrate.
