A new white-rot fungus SYBC-L1, which could produce an extracellular laccase, was isolated from a decayed Elaeocarpus sylvestris. The strain was identified as Pycnoporus sp. SYBC-L1 according to the morphological characteristics and ribosomal ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 RNA genomic sequence analysis. The highest laccase activity of 24.1 U ml⁻¹, which was approximately 40-fold than that in basal medium, was achieved in optimal culture medium in submerged fermentation. The laccase produced by Pycnoporus sp. SYBC-L1 was not only a cold adaptation enzyme with a relative catalytic activity of 30.2% at 0°C but also a high thermostable enzyme. The half-lives at 60, 70 and 80°C were 85.5, 37.2, and 2.6 h, respectively. The laccase could effectively decolorize weak acid blue AS and diamond black PV up to 88% and 74.7%, respectively, within 2 h in the absence of any redox mediators. The results suggested Pycnoporus sp. SYBC-L1 was a potential candidate for laccase production and industrial application.
