In solid state conditions, the biodegradation of lignocelluloses by Rigidoporus lignosus was greatly stimulated when compared with liquid cultures. The ligninolytic activity of the fungus was particularly enhanced. Moreover, it has been shown that these cultures conditions strongly promoted the excretion of two ligninolytic enzymes, laccase and Mn‐peroxidase. The ligninolytic activity reached a maximum when the two enzymes were present at the same time in the medium, which suggests that they could act in a complementarity way during lignin degradation.
