Abstract :The fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium ME446 was entrapped on polyurethane foam to synthesize gibberellic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GA 3 equivalent); and Cytokinin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(zeatin equivalent);. Maximum gibberellic acid was defined on the 6 th day insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(44.43 µg/mL and 61.22 µg/mL, respectively); in both free and immobilized cells. Maximum cytokinin was defined on the 12 th day insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(9.61µg/mL and 16.33 µg/mL, respectively); in both free and immobilized cells. An immobilized system of gibberellic acid and cytokinin production resulted in comparatively higher yield than free fungal mycelium.
