A lignolytic fungi with laccase activity isolated from Malaysian local environment for phytochemical transformation purposes

The main aim of the current study is to isolate a fungi with laccase activities to be used for transformation of phytochemicals isolated from the same environment as an approach to produce novel pharmaceutical products. In our study, laccase producing fungi was isolated from samples taken from a tro...
