Abstract
Oil palm decanter cake (OPDC) in the current study was converted to valuable products as laccase and manganese peroxidase (MnP) by an undescribed strain of the white-rot fungus, Pseudolagarobasidium sp. PP17-33. The optimization to enhance the production of enzymes through solid-state fermentation was performed using Plackett-Burman design and response surface methodology. The highest observed laccase was 5.841 U/gds and observed MnP was 5.156 U/gds, which enhanced yield by 2.59-fold and 1.94-fold from the non-optimization. The optimized medium (mg/g of OPDC) consisted of 0.852mg CuSO4·5H2O, 13.512mg glucose, 2mg yeast extract, 0.2mg KH2PO4, 1.5mg MgSO4·7H2O, 0.01mg FeSO4·7H2O, 0.15mg MnSO4·H2O, 0.01mg ZnSO4·7H2O and 0.3mg Tween 80 (pH 5.0) when incubated at 30°C for 7days. The most significant variables of laccase and MnP productions were CuSO4·5H2O and glucose concentrations. This study is the first to report on the production of ligninolytic enzymes from OPDC waste using white-rot fungi. In addition, five different white-rot fungi, Coriolopsis aspera, C. retropicta, Dentipellis parmastoi, Nigroporus vinosus and Tyromyces xuchilensis, are newly observed producers of ligninolytic enzymes in Thailand. The results obtained from this study are significant not only for agro-industrial waste management but also for value-added enzyme production.
