RESUMO
Pleurotus ostreatus showed atypical laccase production in submerged vs. solid-state fermentation. Cultures grown in submerged fermentation produced laccase at 13,000 U l(-1), with a biomass production of 5.6 g l(-1) and four laccase isoforms. However, cultures grown in solid-state fermentation had a much lower laccase activity of 2,430 U l(-1), biomass production of 4.5 g l(-1), and three laccase isoforms. These results show that P. ostreatus performs much better in submerged fermentation than in solid-state fermentation. This is the first report that shows such atypical behavior in the production of extracellular laccases by fungi.

Radial growth rate, intracellular laccases and proteases activities, and protein content were evaluated in five strains of Pleurotus ostreatus, grown on starch-based and glucose-based agar media containing different concentrations of the glucose analogue 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG). Productivity of the strains in pilot scale cultivation was also determined. The mycelium of four strains had approximately between 0.6- to 3-fold higher protein content when grown on glucose medium containing 0.01 g/L of 2-DG than when grown on glucose medium. The radial growth rate and intracellular laccases activity of some strains showed a positive and a negative correlation with the productivity, respectively. These results suggest that the strains with high radial growth rate and low intracellular laccases activity on glucose without 2-DG, on starch without 2-DG or on glucose containing 0.01 g/L of 2-DG are highly productive in pilot production farm.
Avaliou-se o crescimento radial, as atividades de proteases e lacases e o conteúdo protéico de cinco cepas de Pleurotus ostreatus cultivado em agar à base de amido e à base de glicose contendo diferentes concentrações de 2-deoxiglicose (2-DG), um análogo da glicose. A produtividade das cepas em cultivo em escala piloto foi também determinada. Em quatro cepas o conteúdo protéico do micélio foi aproximadamente 0,6 a 3 vezes maior quando foram cultivadas em meio à base de glicose contendo 0,01g/L de 2-DG. O crescimento radial e a atividade de lacases apresentaram correlação positiva e negativa, respectivamente, com a produtividade. Esses resultados sugerem que as cepas com elevada taxa de crescimento radial e baixa atividade de lacases em glicose sem 2-DG, ou em amido sem 2-DG, ou em glicose com 0,01 g/L de 2-DG, são altamente produtivas em cultivo em escala piloto.

RESUMO
Mycelial growth, intracellular activity of proteases, laccases and beta-1,3-glucanases, and cytoplasmic protein were evaluated in the vegetative phase of Pleurotus ostreatus grown on wheat straw and in wheat-grain-based media in Petri dishes and in bottles. The productivity of the wheat straw and wheat-grain-based spawn in cylindrical polyethylene bags containing 5 kg of chopped straw was also determined. We observed high activity of proteases and high content of intracellular protein in cultures grown on wheat straw. This suggests that the proteases are not secreted into the medium and that the protein is an important cellular reserve. On the contrary, cultures grown on wheat straw secreted laccases into the medium, which could be induced by this substrate. P. ostreatus grown on media prepared with a combination of wheat straw and wheat grain showed a high radial growth rate in Petri dishes and a high level of mycelial growth in bottles. The productivities of wheat straw and wheat-grain-based spawn were similar. Our results show that cheaper and more productive mushroom spawn can be prepared by developing the mycelium on wheat straw and wheat-grain-based substrates.
