Article
Laccase production by fungal growth on agrifood waste is still poorly studied. Trametes versicolor K1 isolated from palm bark produced a yellow non glycosylated laccase from tomato waste (TMT) based medium and a blue glycosylated laccase on glucose medium (GLU). Lignocellulosic biomass, such as pinecones (PIN), palm leaves (PLM), olive pomace (OLV)...

Nowadays, natural resources like lignocellulosic biomass are gaining more and more attention. This study was conducted to analyse chemical composition of dried and ground samples (500 μm) of various Algerian bioresources including alfa stems (AS), dry palms (DP), olive pomace (OP), pinecones (PC), and tomato waste (TW). AS exhibited the lowest lign...

The primary objective of this study was to produce lipopeptide surfactin using Bacillus halotolerans (GenBank accession: ON204239), which was isolated from the rhizosphere of pine trees in the El Baaraouia forest in Eastern Algeria. B. halotolerans demonstrated the capacity to biosynthesize surfactants when cultured on a blood agar medium, resultin...

Tomato waste (TW) is a plentiful lignocellulosic resource, mainly composed of seeds and skins, that can be converted into high-value compounds. This study explored the enhancement of TW enzymatic and fungal biovalorization using novel ecofriendly approaches, including advanced technology, pulsed electric felds (PEF). Crude laccase frst produced on...

Plants activate their defence mechanisms to prevent damage caused by environmental stimuli through signaling pathways controlled by growth regulators. These stresses adversely affect plants' growth, disrupting the genetic control of cellular pathways and altering their metabolism, physiology and morphology. Auxin influences phenotypic plasticity un...
Article
Optimization of xylanase and cellulase production by a newly isolated Aspergillus fumigatus strain grown on Stipa tenacissima (alfa grass) biomass without pretreatment was carried out using a Box-Behnken design. First, the polysaccharides of dried and ground alfa grass were characterized using chemical methods (strong and diluted acid). The effect...

Agaricus is one of the most important genera of saprobic fungi in the worldwide with more than 500 species. The objective of this study was to investigate a rare species of edible macrofungus of the phylum Basidiomycota belonging to the genus Agaricus (Agaricales, Agaricomycetes) in the forested areas of Algeria. This macro-fungus was identified as...

In this work we investigate a green process that results in the production of lignocellulolytic enzymes, primarily laccases, using the fungus Trametes versicolor and tomato waste as raw material.
Presentation
Full-text available
The most common biomaterial found in the environment is lignocellulose, its renewability and low cost make it an ideal feedstock for a variety of bio-applications. In this work the purpose is to look into a green process that results in the production of lignocellulolytic enzymes, primarily laccases, and the treatment of lignocellulose components....
