| dc.description.abstract | Retting of coconut husk yields coir fibre and coconut pith both of which are resistant to microbial attack. The former finds a place in commerce, while the disposal of the latter is a problem. Enrichment culture methodology using lignocellulose as source of carbon yielded a fungus identified as Poria ravanulae. The fungus could utilise coconut pith which is essentially a ligno cellulose complex, as source of carbon for its growth. The coconut P. ravanulae isolates were lignoclastic, its polyphenol oxidase was noninducible and could use a range of phenolic substrates for growth. Replacement culture techniques indicated the conversion of trihydric phloroglucinol to dihydric resorcinol. | en_US |
