ABSTRACT
Laccases are a group of oxidases that catalyze the oxidation of a wide range of electron rich substrates like phenolic compounds, lignin and aromatic amines. They are of interest because of their potential to be used in environmental and industrial applications. In this research, potent laccase producer fungi were screened and isolated from olive mill wastewater (OMW). One of the 23 isolated fungi was identified as Galactomyces geotrichum based on 18S rDNA sequence analysis that detected good laccase activity. Produced laccase had a molecular weight of 55 kDa that was confirmed by zymogram analysis. This is the first report about the optimization of laccase Production by G. geotrichum under solid-state fermentation. The optimization was made by the Taguchi design of experiments (DOE) methodology. An orthogonal array (L25) was designed using Minitab 19 software to study four effective process factors in five levels for laccase production. The optimum condition derived was; moisture content (80%), fermentation time (14 day), CuSO4â
5H2O as the inducer (300 µM), glucose as a co-substrate (5 g/L). Maximum laccase activity of 52.86 (U/g of dry substrate) was obtained using optimum fermentation condition. This study aimed to better understand the laccase producing microorganisms in OMW and take them to OMW treatment that is rich in phenolic compounds.
