Biotransformation of Tropical Lignocellulosic Feedstock Using the Brown rot Fungus Serpula lacrymans

The Effect of Fecl3 and Length of Incubation on the Degradation of Lignocellulose From Sengon and Pine Woods Using Serpula Lacrymans

“…This is also supported by Irbe et al (2011) mentioned that the production of hydroxyl radical was started significantly after 10 days incubations and achieved the peak at week 4 or 5. Nurika (2013), has also supported that Serpula lacrymans produces some organic acid including oxalic acid and another low molecular weight (quinone) in which the oxalic acid reached highest concentration after 35 days incubations, while quinone peaked at 21 days. This evidence showed that the longest time incubations, could also release the highest amount of total soluble phenols.…”

“…pH pH was measured on both extract Sengon and Pinewoods incubated by Serpula lacrymans. The changing of pH on during the lignocellulose incubations depicted that some of organic acid compounds such as oxalic acid was released (Nurika, 2013).…”

“…The media then left overnight before it's setrilised for second time the day after. Five plugs of S.lacrymans was cultured into grain spawn and incubated for 2-3 weeks at 22°C±2° (Nurika, 2013).…”

“…The length incubation will also affect on the results. Based on Nurika (2013) the incubation for 25 days showed on both total reducing sugars and soluble phenols…”

Extraction of Vanillin Following Bioconversion of Rice Straw and Its Optimization by Response Surface Methodology

“…Rice straw surface after pretreatment with 35 days incubation ( Figure 2 b) shows the surface is cracked and the structure are not solid. According to Nurika et al [ 50 ], changes in the surface of rice straw indicate that biodegradation affects the surface area of rice straw and causes the opening of the holo-cellulose fibrils.…”
