Abstract

A process for the production of lignolytical enzymes using Phanerochaete chrysosporium which includes placing a culture of the pocket rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium into a closed fermentation vessel which has no stirring mechanism. Pellets of Phanerochaete chrysosporium are produced in the vessel by rotating and slewing the vessel, and enzyme is then harvested. An apparatus for carrying out the process includes a cardanic mount for freely rotatably and slewably suspending the vessel.
