Abstract

Solid state fermentation of wheat straw for cellulase production by Phanerochaete chrysosporium has been studied. The most optimum moisture level for solid state fermentation was found to be 40% while the best enzyme yield was obtained at an initial pH of 4.5 and incubation temperature of 30 0 C. Supplementation @ 0.2% (W/W) was found to have enhanced the yield of the enzyme by three folds. With all conditions standardized an enzyme yield of 78 IU pergds could be obtained.
