Laccase, lignin peroxidase, and manganese peroxidase have a synergistic effect on a wide range of recalcitrant compounds. Among them, laccase is polyphenol oxidase widely available in fungi, plant species, and insects. Laccase has an important role in effluent decoloration, detoxification of pulp bleaching, and bioremediation process. Screening was carried out to find new fungal isolate for the presence of laccase activity with guaiacol as indicator compound. Sixteen fungal isolates were obtained from biodeteriorated agro waste and the wood samples were collected from North Gujarat region of India. Among these isolates, one of the fungal isolates was observed with good laccase activity and identified as Alternaria alternata. Laccase activity was determined using 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzethiazoline-6-sulfonate) as substrate. Various production parameters such as pH, temperature, various carbon sources, nitrogen source, inducers, and cations were used to select the optimum condition for further increase in the production of this enzyme. Maximum laccase activity was obtained with glucose and sucrose as carbon source, 0.2% ammonium sulfate as nitrogen source, and 0.06% Cu +2 with 1.5 mM veratryl alcohol as inducer under optimized condition.
