Oil palm residues palm oil mill effluent POME and pressed pericarp fibres PPF have been considered as the largest sources of pollution that seriously atlected the environment. The transformation of residues into valuable products including lignocellulosic enzymes has attracted a huge attention mainly in utilizing these abundant and low-cost wastes. This study was conducted to investigate the potential of oil palm residues as low-cost feedstocks for lignocellulosic enzyme production by the white rot fungus Pycnoporus sanguineus. Results showed that the tested fungus was a potent producer of cellulases and laccase enzyme at CMCase 18.221 IU/ml FPase 13.406 IU/ml Beta-glucosidase 3.370 IU/ml and laccase 17.481 IU/mL in a stirred tank bioreactor with external recirculation vessel STBEL respectively. Moreover PPF was found as a fungal matrix to support growth during the fermentation. Thus showing that POME which has higher content of degradable organic matter and pretreated PPF can be used as cellulosic sources for the production of value-added enzymes and consequently reducing pollution potential to the ecosystem.

Abstract

Oil palm residues palm oil mill effluent POME and pressed pericarp fibres PPF have been considered as the largest sources of pollution that seriously atlected the environment. The transformation of residues into valuable products including lignocellulosic enzymes has attracted a huge attention mainly in utilizing these abundant and low-cost wastes. This study was conducted to investigate the potential of oil palm residues as low-cost feedstocks for lignocellulosic enzyme production by the white rot fungus Pycnoporus sanguineus. Results showed that the tested fungus was a potent producer of cellulases and laccase enzyme at CMCase 18.221 IU/ml FPase 13.406 IU/ml Beta-glucosidase 3.370 IU/ml and laccase 17.481 IU/mL in a stirred tank bioreactor with external recirculation vessel STBEL respectively. Moreover PPF was found as a fungal matrix to support growth during the fermentation. Thus showing that POME which has higher content of degradable organic matter and pretreated PPF can be used as cellulosic sources for the production of value-added enzymes and consequently reducing pollution potential to the ecosystem.
