SCREENING AND PROCESS OPTIMISATION FOR LACCASE PRODUCTION FROM AGRO-INDUSTRIAL WASTE BY FUNGL STRAIN USING SOLID SUBSTRATE FERMENTATION

​

Laccases (benzenediol:oxygen oxidoreductase (EC 1.10.3.2) are multi copper oxidases that are widely distributed among plants, insects, and fungi. They have been described in different genera of ascomycetes, some deuteromycetes, and mainly in basidiomycetes, these enzymes catalyze the one-electron oxidation of wide variety of organic and inorganic substrates, including mono-, di-, and and polyphenols, amino-phenols, methoxyphenols, aromatic amines, andascorbates, with the concomitant four electron reduction of oxygen to water. Laccase is currently the focus of much attention because of its diverse applications, such as delignification of lignocellulosic, crosslinking of polysaccharides, bioremediation applications, such as waste detoxification, and textile dye transformation, food technologies uses, persobal and medical care applications, and biosensor and analytical applications. In this work, we will be focussing on the production of laccase enzyme using a fungal strain through solid substrate fermentation.
