Abstract

The potential of solid‐state cultivation, with three white‐rot fungi (Bjerkandera adusta, Ganoderma resinaceum and Phlebia rufa), to decrease phorbol esters concentration of Jatropha curcas L. was evaluated in this study. Incubation was conducted in 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks without agitation at 28°C for 30 days. Phorbol esters were analyzed by reverse‐phase HPLC after an extraction procedure using dichloromethane. All fungi studied were able to decrease the concentration of phorbol esters, mainly B. adusta and P. rufa which significantly reduced (p<0.05) phorbol esters contents to non‐toxic levels. These results suggest that white‐rot fungi could be potentially used as a possible approach for the biological treatment of the oilseed cake.
