ABSTRACT<br />

Résultats et discussion. Chapitre 1 : Criblage des souches de L. edodes<br />

In Morocco, olive industry produces great amounts of Olive Mill Wastewater (OMW)<br />

in short time period (250 000 m 3 of liquid wastes in four months, November-February).<br />

Phenolic compounds are largely responsible for the phytotoxicity and antimicrobial effects of<br />

OMW. Several studies have been carried out focusing on the biological and enzymatic<br />

treatment of OMW. However, the use of OMW to produce value-added products, e.g.<br />

mushroom cultivation, are less explored. This research aimed to select shiitake mushroom,<br />

capable of growing on OMW, involving decolorization, removal of total phenol and high<br />

production of mycelial biomass. Sixteen strains of Lentinula edodes were evaluated for their<br />

tolerance to OMW, apical growth rate and biomass production on agar media. The highest<br />

biomass yields were recorded in four L. edodes strains (Le118, Le119, Le121 and Le122)<br />

grown in the presence of 20% (v/v) OMW. The ability of these pre-selected strains to<br />

decolorize and to remove total phenol from OMW was then tested by using the technique of<br />

liquid culturing, without any other nutriment supplement. L. edodes strain Le119 exhibited<br />

65% decolorization along with 75% elimination of total phenol as resulted from Folin<br />

Ciocalteu assays. The laccase activity was the main lignolytic activity observed, with one<br />

isoform of the enzyme got stained on native PAGE with p-phenylenediamine as the substrate<br />

at pH 5.0.<br />
