Stimulated laccase production of Pleurotus ferulae JM301 fungus by Rhodotorula mucilaginosa yeast in co-culture

- Laccase production of Pleurotus ferulae was enhanced by the co-cultured with Rhodotorula mucilaginosa.
- Optimization of the co-culture inoculation conditions improved laccase production.
- The rough surface of P. ferulae mycelia became relative smooth in the co-culture.
- The co-culture caused the higher protein concentration and different protein profiles.
