Laccase from fungi have attained considerable attention due to the involvement in transformation anddegradation of many polymers, ring cleavage of aromatic compounds and many phenolic compounds withthe help of reduction of oxygen to water. Two fungal species were (Pleurotus. ostreatusandPseudolagarobasidium acaciicola) used to study the production of laccase by solid state fermentation methodon different lignocellulosic waste like rice bran, rice husk, wheat bran, and wheat straw. Presence ofcellulose, lignin and hemicellulose in different lignocellulosic waste are rich in nutrients which promotesfungal growth in solid-state fermentation. From results it was confirmed that the rice bran produces higherconcentration of laccasethan other lignocellulosic substrate.
