Abstract

Out of different lignin preparations, phenolic compounds and sugars tested, indulin AT proved to be the best substrate for laccase production in both Pleurotus ostreatus and P. sajor-caju. Sugars supported good growth but repressed enzyme production. In P. ostreatus the enzyme production was maximum at 25 °C, pH 5 and 0.1% indulin AT. Angiospermic wood saw dust suffered a total weight loss of 6% accompanied by 14% lignin loss during 60 days incubation with P. ostreatus.
