Summary
Total and specific activities of extra-cellular laccases from Lentinus edodes were enhanced by adding corn straw and chestnut juice to the liquid growth medium. The aqueous extracts were chemically characterized and revealed the presence of several phenolic and non-phenolic compounds. Extensive extraction of these components from the tested extracts completely annulled their stimulating properties on laccase production, suggesting that these compounds can act at micromole levels.
