The present invention relates to a novel Irpex sp. JS7 ( Irpex sp. JS7) strain and its use, and more particularly, to a novel strain isolated from a tree and having lacase activity, and a composition for skin whitening using the same. . The culture medium of the strain provided by the present invention directly decolorizes and decomposes melanin in the stratum corneum exposed on the skin, so that a whitening effect can be seen in a short period, and since it acts specifically on melanin, side effects and toxic effects can be prevented. |
