The production of myco-coagulant was achieved using several low-cost lignocellulolytic substrates, namely coco peat, sawdust, palm kernel cake, and rice bran as sources of carbon and nitrogen. This research involves the study of both the effect of lignocellulolytic substrates and the parameters involved in the fermentation process for myco-coagulant production. Coco peat was chosen as a suitable lignocellulolytic substrate to serve as a carbon source for producing myco-coagulant, potentially reducing the turbidity by 84.6% from the kaolin suspension.
