Biosynthesis of pectinase by fungi Bjerkandera and Coriolus by solid phase fermentation

Production of an extracellular pectinase by wood-rot fungi of the genus Bjerkandera and Coriolus was studied. The active producers B. adusta 40 and C. versicolor 24 were selected. The dynamics of production of pectinase and effects of temperature, initial pH, humidity of the medium and addition of nitrogen sources on the biosynthesis of pectinase were studied.
