Abstract :
Keeping clean environment is vital matter for human health and other organism. In last decade, the usage of
living systems to treat pollution get a real attention. Bioremediation ia a way to treat wastewater using enzymes. This
study was aimed to introduce a simple and inexpensive method for efficient removal of chlorine substituted phenolic
compounds result from some industries that present in aqueous solution by use the enzyme tyrosinase extracted from
mushroom Lentinula edodes from local area. The optimum conditions of enzyme activity were determined. Result
of resent study indicate that tyrosinase effectively remove chlorine substituted phenolic compounds. Present study
was concluded that mushrooms Lentinula edodes could be use as a source of enzyme tyrosinase which can effectively
remove one of harmful hazardous by-products of industry a chlorine substituted phenols from aqueous solution in
low-cost way.
