Decolorization Potential and Comparative Laccase Activity of Pleurotus Species

Abstract

Pleurotus spp (Oyster mushroom), including Plerotus ostreatus, Pleurotus florida, Pleurotus sajor-cajuetc, Agaricus bisporus (button mushroom), Calocybe indica (milky white mushroom) adding to other significant properties such as nematode control, synthetic dye decolorization, biodegradation (Smith et. al., 2002). The practice of mushroom cultivation was initially flourishing for its

Recent Studies on Biotechnological Roles of Pleurotus spp

“…They found highest degradation efficiency (>80%) for 1-3 Clatoms containing polychlorinated biphenyls [19]. Kumar et al (2020) collected four species of Pleurotus viz., P. ostreatus, P. florida, P. sajor-caju, and P. flabellatus for study of their efficacy in in terms of production of laccase and dye decolorization for the purpose of industrial application. They used five dyes viz.…”

“…bromophenol blue, crystal violet, methyl red, methylene blue and brilliant blue for the study of decolorization on solid (Potato dextrose agar) as well as liquid medium (Potato-dextrose broth). They took three different concentrations as 100 ppm, 200 ppm and 500 ppm for study and fund that P. florida was most effective in decolorization of all four dyes in both solid as well as liquid medium [20].…”

“…Such edible mushrooms are recognized for their pronounced nutritional potential as they are full of nutrients like protein, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and many other [7]. Pleurotus spp also have various valuable biotechnological applications that have been summarized here based on recent reported studies on them [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”
