Abstract
40 basidiomycetes species were screened for the presence of three important lignolytic enzymes. Maximum enzyme activity was observed in Clitopilus sps. 0.560 u/mL (laccase), Lentinula edodes, 0.521 (mnp) and Sphaerobolous sp, 0.700 (lip). Lignolytic enzymes can be exploited in biobleaching and biopulpi ng process.
