Rich source of biota includes several white rot fungi, were reported in Western Ghats regions of Tamil Nadu, India. The effective identification of white rot fungi and their lignocellulolytic enzymes play a crucial role for degradation of agricultural and industrial wastes to maintain su sta ina ble ecosystem. T hus, the present study was conducted to assess the secretion of lignocellulolytic enzymes of diverse white rot fungi, collected from Western Ghats regions of Tamil Nadu, comprising of Kotagiri and Ooty of the Nilgiri district, Siruvani and Anaikati of Coimbatore district. A total of 16 white rot fungi belonging to 6 genera, viz., Pleurotus spp., Lentinus spp., Ganoderma spp., Trametes spp., Pycnoporus spp. and Schizophyllum spp. were collected and identified through morphological and molecular methods. The activity of cellulase enzyme was prominently visible in Pleurotus pulmonarius, P. sajar-caju, Pycnoporus sanguineus, P. ostreatus, Ganoderma gibbosum and Schizophyllum commune and hemicellulolytic activity was maximum in Trametes ijubarskii, Lentinus crinitus, P. sanguineus and G. gibbosum . The quantitative and qualitative screening for major lignolytic enzymes, viz., laccase (Lac), lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP) revealed significant levels of Lac secretion when compared to LiP and MnP by P. pulmonarius, P. sajar-caju and Schizophyllum commune. The syringaldazine well test further confirmed the secretion of laccase as major enzyme followed by LiP and MnP. Also the Lac and LiP activity was maximum at pH of 4.5 and MnP activity at pH of 5.0 by P. pulmonarius, P. sajar caju and S. commune. Temperature of 30°C induced maximum secretion of Lac, LiP and MnP by these three fungi. A significant level of Lac was observed on 4 th day after inoculation while LiP and MnP was maximum on 7 th and 8 th day for P. pulmonarius and P. sajar-caju. Whereas, S. commune secreted significant levels of Lac on 10 th to 11 th da y, while LiP and MnP on 6 th and 7 th da y. This study paves the way for u se of P. pulmonarius, P. sajar-caju and S. commune for biodegradation and bioconversion of agrowastes.
