Abstract: Ligninolytic enzymes, especially versatile peroxidase, have received much attention in recent times due to expanding application in bioremediation, biofuel production and in the production of other valuable chemical products. Choosing appropriate medium and optimizing the medium is important for economic and over-production of the valuable products. Versatile peroxidase has been reported to be present in various white rot fungi including Ganoderma lucidum. In this study, we optimized submerged fermentation medium for maximum versatile peroxidase production including amendment of lignocellulosic wastes. The basal medium, after optimization, has produced 5.5 times more versatile peroxidase. Improvised production of versatile peroxidase will find application in various industries.
Keywords: Versatile peroxidase, submerged fermentation, Ganoderma lucidum RMK1, lignocellulosic wastes, lignin.
