Abstract

                                Three cellulolytic fungi were inoculated on alkali hydrolysed rice straw and untreated rice straw, Asperquillus sp. (AS.3) exhibited maximum straw conversion (80.0%) followed by Fusarium sp. (Fs.4) and Trichodermu sp. (T.3) Fungal biomass yield ranged from 82 to 1.06 g/50 ml depending upon the fungi. Crude protein content of rice straw after fermentation varied from 15.6 to 25.0% irrespective of the type of rice straw and the fungi. Soluble protein of the fermented rice straw was maximum (42.5 mg/100 ml) in Aspergillus sp. (As.3) insulated substrate. The results showed the possibility of obtaining protein enriched rice straw employing efficient cellulosic fungi.
