Lignin modifying enzyme activities by some Malaysian white rot fungi

The possible biotechnological application of ligninolytic enzyme in a range of different fields has stimulated isolation and screening of potential microorganisms from local sources. Twelve white rot fungi (WRF) were isolated from around Gombak area (Malaysia) and sub cultured few times in order to...
