description Aims: Marine-derived fungi are a potential for the search of new compounds with relevant features. Among these, theligninolytic enzymes have potential applications in a large number of fields, including the environmental and industrialsectors. This work aimed to evaluate the laccase activity of the marine-derived fungus Alternaria alternata, undervarious cultivation conditions and its application in synthetic dyes decolorization.Methodology and results: Wheat bran prepared with 40 mL sea water proportion was the most suitable substrate forlaccase production (114.06±2.24 U/mL) by A. alternata, after 14 days of incubation in submerged fermentation. Laccaseproduction in static cultivation was superior to that in agitated cultures. The simple Boyd and Kohlmeyer medium withsupplementation of 2 mM CuSO4·5H2O on day 6, at an incubation period of 14 days and incubation temperature of 28±2°C under static conditions, yielded amounts of laccase (36.13±0.34 U/mL) less than that obtained with submergedfermentation of wheat bran as unique substrate. Furthermore, A. alternata has high decolorization capability toward azodyes in the absence of redox mediators, 75.47% of the reactive black at 0.01% concentration, was removed after 30days of incubation. Also has good ability to decolorize the triphenylmethane dye crystal violet, at 0.01% concentration,about 69.35% of the dye was removed after 30 days.Conclusion, significance and impact of study: These unusual properties demonstrate that the marine-derived fungusAlternaria alternata has potentials in specific industrial or environmental applications.
