Production of efficient lignin degrading enzymes by newly isolated Cerrena species
description White rot fungi have attracted global attention because of their potential application in biotechnology industry. Of all ligninolytic exoenzymes produced by white rot fungi, laccases are one of the most investigated enzymes related to a variety of green oxidation processes. The study of ligninolytic enzymes has been hampered by the difficulty in producing these enzymes in sufficient quantities due to a large number of factors contribute to the development of morphological forms that will influence the enzymes production optimization. In this study, the identification of white rot fungi producing ligninolytic enzymes from local soils, optimization study, purification and characterization work aiming to laccase were carried out.
