Abstract
Aspergillus niger isolated from the soil was investigated for its capability to produce various lignocellulolyticenzymes, such as LiP, endoglucanase, FPase, xylanase by solid-state fermentation, using Albizia lebbeck fruitpods as a substrate. The chemical composition of the fruit pods was studied, and the production pattern of theenzymes was examined by growing the fungi for 25 days. The LiP activity was low, whereas a good productionof endoglucanase, FPase, and xylanase enzymes was noted. A dye decolorization capacity of the A. niger wasalso studied with Congo red. Therefore, A. lebbeck fruit pods which are considered as waste and burnt off canbe utilized for the production of holocellulolytic enzymes using A. niger.
