Currently, these agro-wastes are either allowed to decay naturally on the fields or are burnt. However, these wastes are rich in sugars due to their organic nature, are easily assimilated by microorganisms and hence, make them potential substrates for exploitation as raw materials in the production of industrially relevant compounds through microbial conversion. In addition, the reutilization of biological wastes is of great interest since, due to legislation and environmental reasons, the industry is increasingly being forced to find an alternative use for its residual matter (Rodríguez-Couto, 2008).
