The effects of cultural conditions in the rice straw media for cellulolytic enzymes production by Pleurotus sajor-caju were investigated. The optimum moisture content, pH and temperature for enzymes production were 60%, 7.0 and 35¡É in C©û-cellulase, and 60%, 5.0 and 25¡É in C©û-cellulase, and 60%, 7.0 and 20¡É in ¥â-glucosidase, respectively. When light was irradiated during the cultivation period, C©û-cellulase and ¥â-glucosidase production were decreased but C©û-cellulase production increased at 500¡1,000 lux. During the cultivation period, C©û-cellulase production was contrary to C_x-cellulase and ¥â-glucosidase. Among the various materials added, rice bran was effective to C©û-cellulase production, cotton seed cake and rice bran to C_x-cellulase production, and defatted soybean and fish meal to ¥â-glucosidase production. The optimum concentration of rice bran for enzymes production were 20% in C©û-, C_x-cellulase and 10% in ¥â-glucosidase.
