Three strains of white-rot fungi were tested in solid state fermentation and submerged culture to obtain enzymes for dyes biotransformation. Both sugarcane bagasse and dyes induced laccase and manganese peroxidase biosynthesis but laccase seems to be the main enzyme related to the decolourisation pr...
