Culture supernatants of Cerrena unicolor and Pleurotus sapidus containing active laccase were used with and without surfactant additives. Two surfactants: cationic cetrimonium bromide (CTAB) and non-ionic Polysorbate 80 were applied in the range from 0.2 mM to 1.5 mM. The pH levels ranging from 3 to 10 were examined with particular attention to pH=4, which is close to the pI of the enzymes. Results show that the source of the enzyme is significant in terms of partitioning efficiency in a foam fractionation process. Laccase from Cerrena unicolor showed the best activity partitioning coefficients between foamate and retentate of almost 200 with yields reaching 50% for pH 7.5 and concentration of CTAB cCTAB = 0.5 mM, whereas laccase from Pleurotus sapidus showed partitioning coefficients of up to 8 with 25% yield for pH 4 and cCTAB = 0.5 mM.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Laccase concentration by foam fractionation of Cerrena unicolor and Pleurotus sapidus culture supernatants}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/105885/PDF/09-paper-Blatkiewicz.pdf}, doi={10.1515/cpe-2017-0035}, keywords={foam fractionation, Laccase, CTAB, Polysorbate 80}, }
