Abstract
Total and specific activities of extra-cellular laccases from Lentinus edodes were enhanced by adding corn straw and chestnut juice to the l iquid growth medium. The aqueous extracts were chemically characterize d and revealed the presence of several phenolic and non-phenolic compo unds. Extensive extraction of these components from the tested extract s completely annulled their stimulating properties on laccase producti on, suggesting that these compounds can act at micromole levels.
