The research points to the possibility of successful biopulping
and lignocellulolytic enzymes production by T. versicolor on oil
palm trunk in solid-state fermentation. The primary assessment of
biopulping suggests that T. versicolor secretes the ligninolytic enzymes
Lac, MnP, and LiP, as well as the cellulolytic enzymes Cel and
HCel. The results demonstrated the ability of the fungus to biopulp
oil palm trunk residues so that they can be used as a nonwood
substitute for papermaking. Research of this kind is important, in
that in biotechnology special attention is being given to obtaining
low-cost enzymes by using the huge amount of lignocellulosic
waste created through forestry and agriculture, which can be used
to recycle carbon to energy and food. Further research is essential to
increase the prospects for synthesis of valuable enzymes. Results
reported in relation to biological pre-treatments are encouraging,
and after analysing the enzymatic activities it can be suggested as a
safe and environment-friendly option for producing lignocellulolytic
enzymes at the manufacturing level. Biotechnological tools are
increasingly being used to substitute for chemical processes in a
wide range of industries so this fungus, capable of delignification, is
an apt organism for biopulping.
