P. chrysosporium, SC 26 균주(菌株)를 이용하여 0.1% Tween 20, veratryl alcohol 및 benzyl alcohol 이 첨가된 배지(培地)에 접종(接種)한 후 진탕배양하여 ligninase역가를 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 배지(培地)에 Tween 20를 단독으로 처리했을 경우에는 ligninase 의 생성(生成)이 적었으나, 0.1% Tween 과 0.4 mM veratryl alcohol을 첨가했을 때 높았으며 , 최대 역가까지의 소요일수는 5일이었다. 또한 0.1% Tween 20 과 10 mM benzyl alcohol을 처리했을때 ligninase의 역가가 가장 높았으며, 최대 역가까지의 소요일수는 8일이였다.
Phanerochaete chrysosporium is a white rot fungus which secrets a family of lignin-degrading enzymes under nutrient limitation. Ligninase was extracellularly produced in agitated submerged cultures of P. chrysosporium, SC 26. Addition of veratryl alcohol(4 mM), and benzyl alcohol(10 mM) with 0.1% Tween 20 to the culture medium stimulated ligninase production. However, ligninase was not detected when both treatments of veratryl alcohol and benzyl alcohol without Tween 20 were added to the medium. Addition of 0.1 % Tween 20 to the culture medium had little effect on ligninase activity. The ligninase activity was maximum on day 5-8 for veratryl alcohol, and benzyl alcohol with 0.1 % Tween 20 additive medium.
