Isolation and Characterization of a Promising Lignocellulolytic Enzyme Producer Pseudolagarobasidium acaciicola SL3-03 from Mangrove Soil in Thailand.

Lignocellulolytic enzymes isolation from mangrove-derived organisms has many industrial advantages due to their efficiency in dealing with extreme and challenging conditions, such as high temperatures and salt concentrations. This study aimed to isolate fungal enzyme producers from mangrove soil in Thailand to produce lignocellulolytic enzymes (carboxymethyl cellulase: CMCase, xylanase, and laccase) and to characterize these enzymes to support industrial applications. Forty-eight fungi were isolated from the mangrove samples, and their enzyme-producing capabilities were assessed using primary and secondary screening methods.
