Abstract
- A study was conducted on the ligninolytic capabilities of Pleurotus floridanus MUCL 28518, Pleurotus ostreatus CBS 411.71, Pleurotus pulmonarius CBS 507.85 and Pleurotus sajor-caju MUCL 29757 during solid-state fermentation of 14C lignin-labeled wheat straw. The kinetics of extracellular enzymes related to lignin degradation were monitored. Results indicated that Mn2+-oxidizing enzymes have an important function in lignin degradation.
