The optimum temperature and pH for mycelial growth of B. bassiana DGUM 34001 were $24^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0, respectively. Among the complex media used, mushroom complex medium (MCM) was the most favorable for mycelial growth. When Czapek-Dox medium was used as a minimal medium, glucose was an excellent source for carbon and energy. Soytone and sodium phosphate were favorable constituent for culture medium as a source of organic nitrogen and phosphorus, respectively. When the fungus was grown in MCM broth, the specific activity of extracellular enzyme of ${\alpha}$-amylase, lipase, chitinase, CMCase and pretease were 297.0, 0.058, 0.33, 0.21 and 22.8 units/mg protein, respectively. When various sources of organic nitrogen and chitin were supplemented to determine the production of enzymes, casein and soluble chitosan enhanced the production of extracellular protease and chitinase.
