Increase in absorbance was recorded for 30 min at 450nm‚ which was proportional to laccase activity (Parshetti et al.‚ 2011). The activity of Lignin peroxidase was determined by monitoring the conversion of propanaldehyde at 300 nm for 30 min in a reaction mixture of 10µl enzyme extract and 100µl containing 100mM n-propanol‚ 250 mM tartaric acid and 10 mM H2O2 (Kalyani et al.‚ 2008).
