Abstract:
The potential of banana skin and corn cob as a support-substrate for the production of extracellular laccase by the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium (BKMF-1767) was investigated. The results indicate that laccase showed a maximum activity of 12.68 U/g when the proportion of banana skin and corn cob is 1:2 and the inducer is 0.4 mmol/L CuSO4. In addition, crude laccase enzyme shows degradation activity to pentachlorophenol (PCP) without redox mediator or with the redox mediator (ABTS) at a concentration of 5 mmol/L, and the degradation rates of PCP were 37.8% and 97% respectively after 6 h. The crude laccase was purified by treatment of (NH4)2SO4, and the purified laccase could make the degradation rate of PCP to 81.8% within 6 h.
