Potential of in situ SSF laccase produced from Ganoderma lucidum RCK 2011 in biobleaching of paper pulp.

Production of laccase from Ganoderma lucidum RCK 2011 under solid-state fermentation (SSF) conditions was optimized using response surface methodology, resulting in an approximate eightfold increase compared to that in the unoptimized media. Further, the enzyme produced under SSF as whole fermented substrate (in situ SSF laccase) was found to be more stable than the in vitro enzyme (harvested by downstreaming processing of fermented wheat bran). Interestingly, the biobleaching potentials of both in situ and in vitro SSF laccases were comparable, saving 25% chlorine dioxide for achieving similar pulp brightness as obtained in the pulp treated chemically.

Reduced toxicity of malachite green decolorized by laccase produced from Ganoderma sp. rckk-02 under solid-state fermentation.

Statistical designs were applied for optimizing laccase production from a white-rot fungus, Ganoderma sp. rckk-02 under solid-state fermentation (SSF). Compared to unoptimized conditions [2,154 U/gds (Unit per gram of dry substrate)], the optimization process resulted in a 17.

Bioprocessing of wheat straw into nutritionally rich and digested cattle feed.

Wheat straw was fermented by Crinipellis sp. RCK-1, a lignin degrading fungus, under solid state fermentation conditions. The fungus degraded 18.

Nutritional and toxicological assessment of white-rot fermented animal feed.

The fungal fermented wheat straws as animal feeds have been evaluated for its toxicological and nutritional status in male rats (Holtzman strain). Digestibility of dry matter and other nutrients as well as fiber fractions were found significantly higher (P < 0.05) in straw fermented with either Ganoderma sp.

Middle-redox potential laccase from Ganoderma sp.: its application in improvement of feed for monogastric animals.

The variables influencing laccase production by white-rot fungus Ganoderma sp. rckk-02 were optimized employing response surface methodology. Malt extract (6.

Degradation and selective ligninolysis of wheat straw and banana stem for an efficient bioethanol production using fungal and chemical pretreatment.

Lignocelluloses from agricultural, industrial, and forest residues constitute a majority of the total biomass present in the world. Environmental concerns of disposal, costly pretreatment options prior to disposal, and increased need to save valuable resources have led to the development of value-added alternate technologies such as bioethanol production from lignocellulosic wastes. In the present study, biologically pretreated (with the fungus, Pleurotus ostreatus HP-1) and chemically pretreated (with mild acid or dilute alkali) wheat straw (WS) and banana stem (BS) were subsequently subjected to enzymatic saccharification (with mixture of 6.

Solid state bioconversion of wheat straw into digestible and nutritive ruminant feed by Ganoderma sp. rckk02.

Solid state fermentation (SSF) of wheat straw with Ganoderma sp. rckk02 was carried out for 15 days for improving its digestibility and nutrients. Fungal growth caused a significant (P<0.

White-rot fungal conversion of wheat straw to energy rich cattle feed.

In order to improve the digestibility and nutrient availability in rumen, wheat straw was subjected to solid state fermentation (SSF) with white-rot fungi (i.e. Pleurotus ostreatus and Trametes versicolor) and the fermented biomass (called myco-straw) was evaluated for biochemical, enzymatic and nutritional parameters.
