^aControl refers to only BP taken as solid state fermentation medium (10 % w/v). The solid state fermentation setups were performed as per the above combination for a period of 96 h at 30 °C. The data represent mean ± SD of replicates (n = 3). Mean values within a column with different upper-script letters are significantly different at p ≤ 0.05
