Summary: | The production of thermostable laccases from a native strain of the white-rot fungus
Pycnoporus sanguineus
isolated in Mexico was enhanced by testing different media and a combination of inducers including copper sulfate (CuSO
4
). The best conditions obtained from screening experiments in shaken flasks using tomato juice, CuSO
4
, and soybean oil were integrated in an experimental design. Enhanced levels of tomato juice as the medium, CuSO
4
and soybean oil as inducers (36.8% (v/v), 3 mmol/L, and 1% (v/v), respectively) were determined for 10 L stirred tank bioreactor runs. This combination resulted in laccase titer of 143 000 IU/L (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), pH 3.0), which represents the highest activity so far reported for
P. sanguineus
in a 10-L fermentor. Other interesting media resulting from the screening included glucose-bactopeptone which increased laccase activity up to 20 000 IU/L, whereas the inducers Acid Blue 62 and Reactive Blue 19 enhanced enzyme production in this medium 10 times. Based on a partial characterization, the laccases of this strain are especially promising in terms of thermostability (half-life of 6.1 h at 60 °C) and activity titers. |
