    Abstract: Wheat bran was selected as the substrate from agricultural 
  byproducts for spore production of <I>Bacillus coagulans</I> in Solid State 
  Fermentation (SSF). Its particle size has an obvious influence on spore production 
  in SSF conducted by incubation 60% moisture at 37&deg;C for 48 h. The maximum 
  yield (2.85x10<SUP>10</SUP> cfu g<SUP>-1</SUP>) was achieved using the wheat 
  bran particle passed through a 20 mesh sieves without any additional nutrient 
  source to be supplemented.
