    摘要: The invention relates to a system and a method of solid-state fermentation of plant material to produce a fermentation product, the method comprising the steps of:
    - providing (100) a substrate comprising plant material;
    - extruding (300) the substrate having a moisture content higher than 40%;
    - automatic vessels (42) filling (400) with the extruded substrate said vessels have an inner volume of 100 L or less;
    - automatic inoculation (500) of the extruded substrate with a microbial inoculant adapted to cause a solid-state fermentation of the extruded substrate, the vessels (42) being in a closed state;
    - storing (600) the inoculated vessels (52) during a time sufficient for a fermentation of the extruded substrate;
    - harvesting (700) the content of the inoculated vessels (52), comprising the fermented substrate and microbial biomass; and
    - processing (800) the harvested content to obtain a fermentation product.
