“…The genus Fomes are white-rot basidiomycetes (Papinutti et al, 2006) that are widespread in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America (Wang et al, 2021). The genus Fomes, being fungi, obtain its nutrients through extracellular digestion of raw materials by the secretion of enzymes (Martínez-Moreno et al, 2021). The genus Fomes is capable of degrading lignin being laccases one of the enzymes responsible for this process and hence the various reports on the production of this enzyme by various species of this genus (Neifar et al, 2010;Papinutti et al, 2003;Papinutti et al, 2006;Papinutti et al, 2008;Vȇtrovský et al, 2013).…”
