The mean electromotive force in the framework of mean--field magnetohydrodynamics is found with a particular attention to the effect of a mean rotation of the fluid on the mean electromotive force. Anisotropy of the turbulence due to gradients of its intensity or its helicity are admitted. The mean magnetic field is considered to be weak enough to exclude quenching effects. Magnetic fluctuations with a zero mean magnetic field are taken into account. The Omega x J -effect works in the same way with velocity fluctuations and magnetic fluctuations. A contribution to the electromotive force connected with the symmetric parts of the gradient tensor of the mean magnetic field was found in the case of rotation, resulting from velocity or magnetic fluctuations. The implications of the results for the mean electromotive force for mean--field dynamo models are discussed with special emphasis to dynamos working without alpha-effect.
