Production Of Laccase By A Locally Isolated Fungus For Biodegradation Of Selected Agrowastes

The present study was conducted to screen the significant laccase (ligninolytic enzyme) producers from locally isolated white-rot fungi using agitated and non-agitated culture conditions. The highest laccase producer, identified as Pycnoporus sp. (strain S16) was selected for the optimisation of lac...
