Biodegradation of Lignin by White Rot Fungi

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 1999
A review is presented related to the biochemistry of lignocellulose transformation. The biodegradation of wood constituents is currently understood as a multienzymatic process with the mediation of small molecules; therefore, this review will focus on the roles of these small molecular compounds and radicals working in concert with enzymes.

Biomethanation of white rotted and brown rotted rice straw

Bioprocess Engineering, 1999
Biomethanation of white rotted and brown rotted rice straw was taken for the present investigation and their efficiency on biomethanation has been tested. Rice straw was treated with white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium (PC) and brown rot fungus Polyporus ostreiformis (PO).

Pollutant Degradation by White Rot Fungi

1994
The white rot fungi technology is very different from other more well-established methods of bioremediation (e.g., bacterial systems). The differences are primarily due to the mechanisms discussed previously. The unusual mechanisms used by the fungi provide them with several advantages for pollutant degradation, but the complexity of these mechanisms ...

Wood Degradation by Brown-Rot and White-Rot Fungi

2004
Elucidating the mechanism of biological wood decay is not only important ecologically due to its role in the carbon cycle, but also due to its economic significance. Research into this fundamental process has resulted in a large number of potential applications in the pulp and paper industry.

Feasibility of bioremediation by white-rot fungi

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2001
The ligninolytic enzymes of white-rot fungi have a broad substrate specificity and have been implicated in the transformation and mineralization of organopollutants with structural similarities to lignin. This review presents evidence for the involvement of these enzymes in white-rot fungal degradation of munitions waste, pesticides, polychlorinated ...

Degradation of Xenobiotics by White Rot Fungi

1991
White rot fungi such as P. chrysosporium degrade the nonrepeating, nonstereoselective, insoluble polymer lignin under conditions of nutrient limitation. The attack on lignin principally involves extracellular peroxidases (ligninases) and hydrogen peroxide. Hydroxyl radicals may also make a significant contribution.

Biodegradation of Polyvinylchloride (PVC) by White Rot Fungi

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1999
Amounts of recalcitrant plastics in the environment and the time required for their total mineralization to CO2 have recently been fully understood. There is a growing interest in biodegradability of the plastics in landfills (Lee et al., 1991). A major area of environmental concern is the disposal of the solid wastes.
