Production and characterization of laccase for enzymatic bleaching of sago starch from potential indigenous fungi

The potential use of extracellular laccase enzyme from fungal isolate on bleaching of sago starch was accessed. A total of 200 fungi isolates obtained from several different locations including sago processing mills and sago plantations were screened for laccase activities. The potential fungi Crin...
