Abstract:

The strain Acrophialophora sp. Z45 is a laccase-producing fungus,which was discovered in the previous study of our laboratory. In this study,based on the size of guaiacol-oxidation zone on different medium,the factors influencing the laccase production by strain Z45 were studied. The orthogonal experiments were designed to optimize the basic medium for laccase production and the difference in laccase activity before and after medium optimization was then compared. Finally,the ability of strain Z45 to decolorize eight synthetic dyes was evaluated based on the correlation between laccase and dye decolorization. The results based on the single factor experiment and orthogonal test showed that the optimized medium for laccase production was as follows:sucrose as carbon source,sodium nitrate as nitrogen source,the carbon to nitrogen ratio was 45∶1,with a pH value of 5.0. The laccase activity of strain Z45 was significantly improved after medium optimization. Strain Z45 had certain decolorization ability to bromophenol blue,neutral red,methylene blue,methyl blue and crystalline violet,among which the decolorization ability to triphenylmethane dye methyl blue was the strongest. The crude enzyme solution of strain Z45 decolorized methyl blue rapidly. On the solid medium with lower concentrations of methyl blue,the time for complete decolorization of methyl blue was not affected by the dye concentration,but at higher concentrations of methyl blue,the time for complete decolorization was gradually extended with the increase of dye concentration.
