Lignin degradeation by white rot fungi

Plant, Cell and Environment, 1987
Abstract. The wood‐degrading white‐rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium, has been the subject of intensive research in recent years and, based upon isolation of the extracellular enzyme ligninase, major advances have now been made toward elucidating the mechanism by which this fungus degrades lignin.

The Potential of White-Rot Fungi in Bioremediation

1992
The lignin-degrading enzyme system of white-rot fungi, which are mostly basidiomycetes, has been studied intensively in recent years. The extracellular component of the system is comprised of lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, glyoxal oxidase and certain metabolites.

White Rot Fungi: Nature’s Scavenger

2020
The world’s worst offenders in terms of pollution are related to the xenobiotic organopollutants, often toxic and recalcitrant in nature. They have complex aromatic structures which are persistent and recalcitrant, for example, xenobiotics such as phenols, plastics, hydrocarbons, paints, synthetic dyes, pesticides, insecticides, paper and pulp mill ...

Microsomal Transformation of Organophosphorus Pesticides by White Rot Fungi

Biodegradation, 2003
The enzymatic mechanism for the transformation of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) by different white-rot fungi strains was studied. With the exception of Ganoderma applanatum 8168, all strains from a collection of 17 different fungi cultures were able to deplete parathion.

Screening Thermotolerant White-Rot Fungi for Decolorization of Wastewaters

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2006
To select a thermotolerant fungal strain for decolorization of wastewaters, ligninolytic enzyme production (lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase [MnP], and laccase), decolorization, and removal of total phenol and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were detected.

Black Liquor Decolorization by Selected White-Rot Fungi

Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2011
Five different strains of white-rot fungi have been tested for their ability to decolorize black liquor on plates and on solid-state fermentation using vermiculite as the solid inert support. Since the high salt concentration inhibited the growth of all fungi, the black liquor was dialyzed against distilled water prior to use.

Color removal by white-rot fungi

1997
Abstract Color removal by a white-rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, from alkali extraction stage bleachery effluents of a hemp-based pulping plant was investigated. Culture conditions for optimum decolorization activity were determined in shake flash experiments with an objective to construct a continuous, lab-scale reactor.

Decolorization of orange II dye by white-rot fungi

Folia Microbiologica, 2001
Agitation, temperature, inoculum size, initial pH and pH of buffered medium affected the decolorization of Orange II dye by Coriolus versicolor and Funalia trogii. The optimum temperature and initial pH value for decolorization were 30 degrees C and 6.5-7.0, respectively; pH 4.5 was the most efficient in buffered cultures.

Elimination and detoxification of softwood extractives by white-rot fungi

Journal of Biotechnology, 2000
The ability of several white-rot fungal strains to remove and detoxify acetone extractives (pitch or resin) in Scots pine sapwood was investigated in stationary laboratory batch assays. Fungal pretreatment provided up to 62% total pitch reduction and significant decreases in pitch toxicity. The best strains were Bjerkandera sp.
