“…Basidiomycetes, including the genus Pleurotus, can degrade lignocellulosic materials through extracellular ligninolytic enzymes, such as laccase, manganese peroxidase and lignin peroxidase. The oxidative activity and the low specificity of this enzymatic pool are generally responsible for the degradation of recalcitrant organic pollutants [27], which makes these enzymes important catalysts for environmental applications. In addition, previous studies with the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium also indicated the degradation of atrazine by P450 enzymes [15,28].…”

The herbicide atrazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamine-6-isopropylamine-s-triazine) is extensively used for weed control in sugarcane crops. The application of fungi for the biodegradation of xenobiotics has been studied with promising results. Therefore, atrazine degradation mediated by Pleurotus ostreatus INCQS 40310 was evaluated, and the involvement of ligninolytic enzymes along with the degradation process was also investigated. To promote high degradation percentages and rates, a fractional factorial experimental design was first used to determine the most significant medium components for atrazine degradation. This strategy improved atrazine degradation from 39.0% to 71.0% after 15 days, with the formation of different metabolites. Afterward, a 3 2 full factorial design was performed using the variables selected in the first part of this study. The salts FeSO 4 and MnSO 4 showed significant influence in the percentages and the rates of atrazine degradation. The medium optimization resulted in 90.3% and 94.5% of atrazine degradation after 10 days and 15 days, respectively. Although laccase activity was measured during the degradation process, it was not possible to correlate laccase activity with atrazine degradation. The results demonstrated the efficiency of P. ostreatus INCQS 40310 for atrazine degradation, thus demonstrating the potential of this fungus as a bioremediation agent.

“…Além destas vantagens, após a colheita dos cogumelos o substrato residual poderá ser utilizado na alimentação de ruminantes e suínos devido à sua riqueza em nutrientes e alta digestibilidade, podendo também ser aproveitado como fertilizante ou na produção de biogás, de acordo com Mansur et al (1992) (FERREIRA, 1998;POPPE, 2000;RAJARATHNAM, 1992 …”

Oyster mushroom is consumed all over the world due to its taste, flavor, high nutritional value, and some medicinal properties. Many species of this genus are rich in proteins with essential amino acids, polysaccharides, essential amino acids, dietary fibers, important minerals, and some vitamins. Because of this nutritional composition and presence of bioactive molecules, oyster mushroom has been reported to have anticancer, antihypertensive, antihypercholestromic, antidiabetic, antiobesity, antiaging, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities. The high nutritional value and potent medicinal uses suggest that Pleurotus mushrooms are important functional foods or nutraceuticals.
