Ligninolytic enzymes have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their potential for various applications in the industrial, biotechnological, and environmental researches. Versatile peroxidase is especially important owing to its broad substrate specificity and catalytic versatility. It is produced through solid-state fermentation using agro-industrial waste as growth medium. Here, we investigated various agro-industrial waste types as alternative low-cost, easily available inducers of versatile peroxidase production from Pleurotus eryngii. Peels of fruits and vegetables, bea...
