Production of Fungal Pectin Lyase and Polygalacturonase from Fruit Wastes by Solid State Fermentation

Tivkaa Joseph Amande, Benjamin Vandelun Ado & Bukola Christianah Adebayo-Tayo · Biotechnology Journal International · 2022

Polygalacturonase (PG or PGase) and Pectin lyase (PL) are depolymerase enzymes that split the α-1, 4-glycosidic linkages in the backbone of homogalacturonans. They are produced by microorganisms degrading pectin-containing substrates. PG and PL were produced in the solid-state fe...

Utilization of Terminalia superba Sawdust as Substrate for Laccase Production by Trametes sp. Isolate B7 under Solid State Fermentation

Benjamin Vandelun Ado, Abiodun Anthony Onilude & Tivkaa Joseph Amande · Microbiology Research Journal International · 2019

Laccases catalyze a broad range of substrates due to their low substrate specificity and strong oxidative potentials. It can be produce from different sources which include plants, prokaryotes, arthropods and fungi especially Trametes sp. In this study laccases were produced by T...
