Delignification of lignocellulosics and decolorization of Kraft Mill effluent via Pleurotus sp. mutant PL3-M6

  • 1. Hacettepe Univ., Ankara (Turkey). Dept. of General Biology

Description

A mutant P13-M6, derived from the wild isolate Pleurotus sp. (P13) by irradiation treatment was selected based on its high peroxidase and low cellulase activity. It was more effective than the wild strain in the delignification of woody materials (beech, pine and poplar tree). Growth of P13-M6 on barley straw increased the digestibility of this lignocellulosic substrate. Furthermore, P13-M6 was more effective in decolorizing black kraft mill effluent than the parent strain. It is also of interest that the xylanase activity of the mutant is much greater than of the parent strain. (author). 17 refs, 10 figs, 2 tabs
