Laccases catalyze a vast range of substrates owing to low substrate specificity. However, for large-scale applications, laccases with high activity and stability are crucial. In the study, laccase and Total Soluble Protein (TSP) from Trametes sp. isolate G31 was produced at pH 3.0 - 8.0 in solid state fermentation using saw-dust of Terminalia superba. A fraction of the crude enzyme was partially purified and further characterized. The optimum fermentation period for laccase and .................................................................
