Effect of lignocellulose-containing substrates on production of ligninolytic peroxidases in submerged cultures of Phanerochaete chrysosporium ME-446

Biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by a thermotolerant white rot fungus <i>Trametes polyzona</i> RYNF13

“…The presence of an inducer and its chemical nature influenced enzyme production to the greatest extent. Several compounds, mainly phenolic compounds strictly related to lignin or lignin derivatives, were shown to be inducers that could improve enzyme production (Gianfreda et al, 1999;Kapich et al, 2004;Manavalan et al, 2013). Extracellular ligninolytic enzymes of the strain RYNF13 were constitutively produced in trace amounts in MSG, a simple medium containing glucose.…”

A practical culture technique for enhanced production of manganese peroxidase by Anthracophyllum discolor Sp4

“…The immobilization of the mycelium on the surface of wheat grains provided a better surface area and increased the mass transfer, thus improving the production of the enzymes (Herpoël et al, 1999). Moreover, the fungal mycelium may penetrate the lignocellulose support, releasing additional water-soluble aromatic/phenolic substances, which in turn may induce the secretion of the ligninolytic enzymes (Kapich et al, 2004). Low MnP activity was observed in the agitated cultures.…”

Fragmentation of Lignin from Organosolv Black Liquor by White Rot Fungi

“…The range of mass losses varied from 1.23% to 5.03% after 15 days of wood biodegradation. In this case, the presence of lignocellulose-containing substrates led to the production of ligninolytic enzymes, indicating that some compounds, such as extra lignin, low molecular weight aromatic compounds, and dissolved carbohydrates, were present in the black liquor and induced secretion of the lignocellulolytic enzymes, consequently causing mass losses (Kapich et al 2004).…”
