Abstract :
With the increasing world population, the necessity of using lingo-cellulosic wastes for production of single cell
protein (SCP) as animal feed seems to be important. Microbial protein was produced by physical, chemical and
biological treatment of wheat straws under solid state fermentation.
The effects of alkali and heat pretreatment of wheat straw and urea concentration in solid state fermentation was
studied. Pretreated wheat straw was fermented with Pleurotus ostreatus var florida and then protein and glucose
concentration was analyzed. Fermentation of 2% NaOH solution at 100 0C on 0.3 g/l urea in mandels medium by
inoculation with wheat grain based inoculate with Pleurotus ostreatus var florida for 30 days have a product
containing 63.24% protein. .
