“…Several inducers have been applied to increase yields of laccase: copper, phenols, 2,5-xylidine and related compounds in T. versicolor (Collins & Dobson 1997, Tavares et al 2005, Kollmann et al 2005, Domínguez et al 2007, Ryan et al 2007), ethanol in P. cinnabarinus (Lomascolo et al 2003, Meza et al 2006, aromatic compounds including veratryl alcohol in Botryosphoraeria sp. (Vasconcelos et al 2000, Dekker & Barbosa 2001, copper and phenolic compounds in Panus tigrinus (Chernykh et al 2005), copper, cotton stalk extract, dimethyl sulphoxide, and the synthetic substrate ABTS [2,2'-azino-di-(3-ethylbenzothialozin-6-sulphonic acid)] in P. ostreatus (Ardon et al 1996, Hou et al 2004, Shah et al 2006, and copper and lignin-related compounds in Pleurotus pulmonarius . Complex substrates such as sugar cane bagasse and lignocellulosic material such as wood and peanut shells have also been shown to be effective in various fungi (D 'Souza et al 1999, Arora & Gill 2001, Linke et al 2005, Makela et al 2006.…”
