Lignocellulolytic activities of pathogenic and non-pathogenic Ganoderma under oil palm

Nor Suhaila Yaacob and Siti Ramlah Ahmad Ali and Idris Abu Seman and Chong, Soo Sheong and Shahidan Senafi (2003) Lignocellulolytic activities of pathogenic and non-pathogenic Ganoderma under oil palm. [Proceedings Paper]

The ligninocellulosic activity of pathogenic and non-pathogenic Ganoderma sp. was tested by standard rotting experiment. G. boninense degraded oil palm test block and consumed significantly more lignin than G. tornatum. This is attributed to higher ligninase enzyme production in pathogenic as compared to non-pathogenic Ganoderma in medium containing oil palm stem. Cellulose consumption was found to be higher for the non-pathogenic G. tornatum. Cellulase enzyme assay also indicated that G. tornatum produced higher cellulase enzyme than the pathogenic Ganoderma sp. However, the difference cellulase activity amongst the Ganoderma is not significant. Ganoderma sp. is a slower rotter compared to basidiomycetes associated with oil palm.

Abstract

The ligninocellulosic activity of pathogenic and non-pathogenic Ganoderma sp. was tested by standard rotting experiment. G. boninense degraded oil palm test block and consumed significantly more lignin than G. tornatum. This is attributed to higher ligninase enzyme production in pathogenic as compared to non-pathogenic Ganoderma in medium containing oil palm stem. Cellulose consumption was found to be higher for the non-pathogenic G. tornatum. Cellulase enzyme assay also indicated that G. tornatum produced higher cellulase enzyme than the pathogenic Ganoderma sp. However, the difference cellulase activity amongst the Ganoderma is not significant. Ganoderma sp. is a slower rotter compared to basidiomycetes associated with oil palm.
