Solid state fermentation of wheat for the production of cellulase
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. S...

| Summary: | 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.
