heal.abstract	CMCase and β-glucosidase were produced by the mutant Neurosporacrassa 40b cultivated on untreated wheat straw in a solid state fermentation. Best enzyme activities were observed when the growth medium was composed of wheat straw mixed with certain mineral solutions at a ratio 1:2 (w/v). A partially purified enzyme preparation showed optimum enzyme activities of CMCase and β-glucosidase at pH 4.0 and 5.0 and temperature 50 and 60°C respectively. The apparent Km values for the same enzymes were 16.8 g/l and 1.03x10-4 M respectively. At optimum growth and enzyme assay conditions yields as high as 586.2 U CMCase and 58.4 U β-glucosidase per gram of straw were obtained. © 1987 Kluwer Academic Publishers.	en
