  1. aSSF was carried using 9 g sorghum straw under optimized physiological conditions (at 5-day incubation, 1:5 (w/v) substrate/moisture ratio, pH 6.0 and 40°C); bthe control medium used was devoid of any organic or inorganic nitrogen source. The data presented are the mean values of three replicates with the standard deviations.
