ABSTRACT
The present study highlights the utilization of wastes such as cowpea outer pod generated from agro industries forlaccase production using Myrothecium gramineum LCJ177 under solid-state fermentation. Conventional methodswere used to optimize the process parameters. The classical one-factor-at-a-time method showed that the optimalstarch concentration was 1 g/L, peptone concentration was 0.5 g/L, copper sulfate concentration was 0.6 mM, andpyrogallol concentration was 0.8 mM. Likewise, the suitable physical conditions were an initial pH of five of theculture medium, the temperature of 30°C and moisture content of 60%. Utilization of dried cowpea outer pod as asubstrate reduces the pollution levels by converting agro-wastes as useful by-products.
