Ramie solid waste as chips can be used as raw material for pulp. Ligninolytic enzymes of laccase widely used for pretreatment of the pulping process of ramie chips by biodelignification using laccase produced by Penicillium sp. LX/08 has been done. This study aims to obtain optimal concentrations of lignin and CuSO4 as enzyme inducers to increase laccase production from Penicillium sp. LX/08 during biodelignification process and its effect on the quality of ramie pulp. The biodelignification process of ramie chips was carried out by solid state fermentation (SSF) method with six days incubation time. Two inducer type treatment factors (CuSO4 and lignin), and variations in the concentration of each lignin (0.25 g/L, 0.5 g/L, 0.75 g/L) and CuSO4 (0.25 mM, 0.5 mM, 0.75 mM) were investigated in this study. The pulping process was carried out by the soda process in a digester under conditions: 12% active alkaline, temperature of 165°C for 3.5 hours. The results showed that 0.75 mM and 0.5 g/L of lignin were the optimal concentrations which could increase the laccase activity of Penicillium sp. LX/08 by 343 U/L and 25,8 U/L, respectively. The quality of ramie pulp showed a decrease in Kappa Number of 9,34% with an increase in pulp yield to 55,43%. Based on these results, the pretreatment method using laccase produced by Penicillium sp. LX/08 can assist the pulping process of ramie.

Lakase merupakan salah satu enzim ligninolitik yang memiliki kemampuan mendegradasi lignin. Lakase telah diproduksi menggunakan jamur pelapuk putih Marasmius sp. dalam Fermentasi Kultur Padat (FKP) menggunakan jerami padi sebagai media pertumbuhan. Pengaruh sumber karbon yaitu glukosa, gliserol, dan molase dalam medium produksi lakase digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Konsentrasi 0,5%; 1,0%; dan 2,0% digunakan untuk tiap jenis sumber karbon. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas tertinggi lakase diperoleh pada kultivasi hari ke 6-10  dengan masing-masing aktivitas (872,0 U/L (hari ke-6), 1516,67 U/L (hari ke-9) dan 1270,69 U/L (hari ke-10). Aktivitas lakase tertinggi diperoleh pada penggunaan medium gliserol dan molase masing-masing adalah 1422,36 U/L (pada konsentrasi 1%, hari ke-7) dan 113,19 U/L (pada konsentrasi 2%, hari ke-8). Aktivitas tertinggi tersebut sebanding dengan penggunaan medium glukosa. Oleh karena itu, gliserol dan molase dapat digunakan sebagai alternatif sumber karbon untuk produksi lakase dengan fermentasi kultur padat.Kata kunci: glukosa, gliserol, lakase, molase, Marasmius sp., fermentasi kultur padat Influence of Carbon Sources on Laccase Production by White Rot Fungus Marasmius sp. in Solid State FermentationAbstractLaccase is an one of the ligninolytic enzymes that capable to degrade lignin in biomass. Laccase has been produced by white rot fungus Marasmius sp. in Solid State Fermentation (SSF) using rice straw as the solid support media. The influence of carbon sources, i.e. glucose, glycerol and molasses in medium of laccase production were studied in this paper. The concentration of 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% were used for each carbon sources. The results showed that the highest lacase activity was obtained within 6-10 days of cultivation. Glucose concentration of 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% gave the highest laccase activity were 872.0 U/L (day 6), 1516.67 U/L (day 9) and 1270.69 U/L (day 10) respectively. The highest laccase activity on using glycerol and molasses was 1422.36 U/L (at concentration of 1 % on day 7th) and 1113.19 U/L (at concentration of 2% on day 8th), respectively. This activity was comparable to that of glucose substrate. Therefore, glycerol and molasses gave a potential chance as carbon sources for the strategy on low cost laccase production in solid state fermentation.Keywords: glucose, glycerol, laccase, molasses, Marasmius sp., solid state fermentation.

Laccases are oxidoreductase enzymes that have the ability to oxidize phenolic substrates. Its biotechnological potential has been greatly explored in many areas as biotechnology industry, bioremediation of dyes, food industry and environmental microbiology. The aim of this study was maximize the laccase production by Pleurotus pulmonarius (Fr.) Quélet in solid-state fermentation (SSF) using orange waste as substrate. After optimization the capability of the crude laccase to decolorize dyes was analyzed. The fermentation medium in the solid-state was optimized by applying a factorial design. After statistics optimization, laccase activity increased two times. The laccase activity appears to be correlated with the ability of crude extract to decolorize some industrial dyes. The optimized laccase was characterized with respect to optimum pH, influence of temperature and salts. Our results demonstrate that P. pulmonarius was an efficient producer of an important industrial enzyme, laccase, in a cheap solid-state system using orange waste as substrate.

Laccases are oxidative enzymes related to the degradation of phenolic compounds, including lignin units, with concomitant reduction of oxygen to water. Delignification is a necessary pretreatment step in the process of converting plant biomass into fermentable sugars. The objective of this work was to optimize the production of laccases and to evaluate the delignification of sugarcane bagasse byPleurotus ostreatusin solid-state fermentation. Among eight variables (pH, water activity, temperature, and concentrations of CuSO4, (NH4)2SO4, KH2PO4, asparagine, and yeast extract), copper sulfate and ammonium sulfate concentrations were demonstrated to significantly influence laccase production. The replacement of ammonium sulfate by yeast extract and the addition of ferulic acid as inducer provided increases of 5.7- and 2.0-fold, respectively, in laccase activity. Optimization of laccase production as a function of yeast extract, copper sulfate, and ferulic acid concentrations was performed by response surface methodology and optimal concentrations were 6.4 g/L, 172.6 μM, and 1.86 mM, respectively. Experimentally, the maximum laccase activity of 151.6 U/g was produced at the 5th day of solid-state fermentation. Lignin content in sugarcane bagasse was reduced from 31.89% to 26.36% after 5 days and to 20.79% after 15 days by the biological treatment of solid-state fermentation.

The laccase producing abilities of four Basidiomycete fungi species were compared using solid-state fermentation using four different lignocellulosic residues. The biosynthetic potential of the Basidiomycetes was highly dependent on the type of fungi. In general, the laccase secreting ability of Cerrena unicolor Han 849 was greater than Lenzites betulinus Han 851, Stropharia rugosoannulata Han 1321, and Auricularia heimuer Han 1333. The maximum laccase production of C. unicolor Han 849 was approximately 11.25, 122.26, and 15.27 times higher than L. betulinus Han 851, S. rugosoannulata Han 1321 and A. heimuer Han 1333, respectively. Different species of fungi had a preference in lignocellulosic residues. The presence of Firmiana platanifolia was conducive to secreting laccase via C. unicolor Han 849 during solid-state fermentation. A continuous and stable laccase production via C. unicolor Han 849 was an obvious advantage of solid-state fermentation with any of the four lignocellulosic residues used. The maximum laccase production of C. unicolor Han 849 using Firmiana platanifolia was approximately 2.12, 1.68, and 6.13 times higher than Populus beijingensis, Sorghum bicolor, and Oryza sativa, respectively. These findings will be helpful for developing new productivity strains in industrial applications and selecting suitable lignocellulosic residues for laccase production.

The demand for hardwood pulp increased due to the limited hardwood in several countries and its advantage as raw material for paper or paper boards. The hardwood has a specific grafity ranging from low to high that causes the quality of pulp produced not uniform. The observation of specific gravity, fiber morphology, and chemical content of hardwood; and the quality of hardwood pulp have been done. FAO data were used to evaluate the fiber length, fiber wall, lignin, extractives, Kappa Number, and the quality of sulphate pulp. The sulfidity, active alkali, solid to liquor ratio, temperature, and cooking time of pulping process were 25%, 17%, 1 :4, 170°C, and 3.5 hours, respectively. The specific gravity of hardwood in the range of 0.30 to 0.99 was grouped into seven classes and analyzed by statistical regression. The specific gravity of the hardwood was associated withfiber morphology, chemical content, pulping, and pulp quality. The results showed that tha specific gravity of wood affects certain parameters with regression equation model that can be used for the selection ofwood raw materials for sulphate pulping. There is a tendency that the specific gravity can influence the hardwood fiber wall thickness, lignin content, pulp yield, Kappa Number, and the physical properties of pulp for tear and tensile srength. ABSTRAKPermintaan terhadap pulp kayudaun terjadi peningkatan akibat terbatasnya kayudaun di beberapa negara dan keunggulannya sebagai bahan baku kertas atau karton. Kayudaun memiliki specific gravity rendah sampai tinggi, menyebabkan kualitas pulp yang dihasilkan tidak seragam. Pengamatan specific gravity, morfologi serat,dan kandungan kimia kayudaun, serta kualitas pulp telah dilakukan. Evaluasi dilakukan menggunakan data FAO terhadap panjang serat, dinding serat, kadar lignin, ekstraktif, bilangan Kappa, dan kualitas pulp sulfat.Kondisi pemasakan sulfiditas 25%, alkali aktif 17% , ratio 1:4, suhu 170 o C, dan waktu 3,5 jam. Specific gravity kayudaun 0,30-0,99 dikelompokkan kedalam tujuh kelas dan dianalisis dengan statistik regresi. Specific gravity kayu sebagai data tetap dihubungkan dengan morfologi serat, kimia kayu, pulping, dan kualitas pulp. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa specific gravity mempengaruhi parameter tertentu dengan model persamaan regresi yang dapat digunakan untuk seleksi bahan baku hardwood untuk pembuatan pulp sulfat. Terdapat kecenderungan bahwa specific gravity kayudaun dapat mempengaruhi ketebalan dinding serat, kadar lignin, rendemen pulp, bilangan Kappa, sifat fisik pulp untuk sobek, dan tarik.

The drumstick tree is a fast-growing multipurpose tree with a large biomass and high nutritional value. However, it has rarely been exploited as a protein source. This study investigated solid-state fermentation induced by Aspergillus niger, Candida utilis and Bacillus subtilis to obtain high-quality protein feed from drumstick leaf flour. The results showed that fermentation induced significant changes in the nutritional composition of drumstick leaf flour. The concentrations of crude protein, small peptides and amino acids increased significantly after fermentation. The protein profile was also affected by the fermentation process. Macromolecular proteins in drumstick leaf flour were degraded, whereas other high molecular weight proteins were increased. However, the concentrations of crude fat, fiber, total sugar and reducing sugar were decreased, as were the anti-nutritional factors tannins, phytic acid and glucosinolates. After 24 h fermentation, the concentrations of total phenolics and flavonoids were increased. The antioxidant capacity was also significantly enhanced.

A technology for pilot production of feed products via microbiological conversion of plant raw materials (mixed substrate of pine sawdust and vegetative part of Jerusalem artichoke) by Plerotus ostreatus PO-4.1 and Pleurotus djamor PD-3.2 strains is developed. The technology includes hydrodynamic activation of substrate at the seed stock production stage. The overall technology includes three key stages: submerged fermentation of pure cultures of production strains; submerged-solid phase fermentation of hydrodynamicly activated plant raw materials for seed stock production; solid-state fermentation of mechanically ground plant substrate for feed products production. A successful approbation of submerged-solid state fermentation of production strains on media containing 3% of hydrodynamicly activated raw materials allowed for obtaining seed stock with 14.5 g/l yield of submerged mycelium biomass fully adopted for this type of substrate. Further use of this seed stock biomass at the solid state fermentation stage makes the overall process duration three times shorter compared to existing technologies for direct wood waste bioconversion. The pilot plant results show valuable practicability of plant raw material hydrodynamic activation with the purpose of enhancing its bioaccessibility with consequent increase in degree of microbiological conversion. The product of bioconversion contains 14–16% of protein, biofiber, vitamins and minerals and could be considered for successful use as feed by agricultural enterprises.
