(A) Laccase activity, (B) pH, and (C) residual glucose for P. ostreatus in 10% (v/v) SBL and P. pastoris in 1% and 5% (v/v) SBL. The laccase activity depended on the microorganism. The removal curves for P. ostreatus showed an increase in activity during the first 48 h, reaching a maximum value of 862 UL−1, followed by a decrease at 192 h with an activity of 290 UL−1. In contrast, the constitutive expression regulated by the laccase pGAP promoter enzyme was constant in the P. pastoris removal curves for both SBL concentrations, with activities of 1,346 and 1,327 UL−1 for 5 and 1% SBL, respectively. Regarding glucose consumption and pH variability, both fungi gradually consumed the carbon source, generating a decrease in pH attributed to organic acid production. The results are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 3).
