“…Its capability to degrade aromatic xenobiotics [26] and extractives [27] has progressively increased its biotechnological interest in wastewater treatments for lignin degradation [28]. Due to its laccase and manganese peroxidase activity [29,30], applications of B. adusta to the biomineralization of lignin in soils [31] and to the decoloration of industrial dye effluents [32] has been already attempted, but to date not at an industrial level. This study reports the lignin removal capability and effectiveness of B. adusta and P. crysosporium, grown in different culture media containing lignin, on synthetic and industrial pulp-and-paper mill wastewater.…”

An investigation has been carried out to explore the lignin-degrading ability of white rot fungi, as B. adusta and P. crysosporium, grown in different media containing (i) glucose and mineral salts; (ii) a dairy residue; (iii) a dairy residue and mineral salts. Both fungi were then used as inoculum to treat synthetic and industrial pulp-and-paper mill wastewater. On synthetic wastewater, up to 97% and 74% of lignin degradation by B. adusta and P. crysosporium, respectively, have been reached. On industrial wastewater, both fungal strains were able to accomplish 100% delignification in 8-10 days, independent from pH control, with a significant reduction of total organic carbon (TOC) of the solution. Results have confirmed the great biotechnological potential of both B. adusta and P. crysosporium for complete lignin removal in industrial wastewater, and can open the way to next industrial applications on large scale.

“…The decolorisation percentage (DP) in raw leachate and the humic acid solution were determined spectrophotometrically as the decrease of the spectrum area (the integral of the absorbance spectrum) in the visible range (380-760 nm) with respect to the unseeded control [21]. DP calculation is showed in Equation (2), in which the term A treat is the spectrum area of the trials inoculated with the fungus and the term A control refers to the spectrum area of the unseeded trials.…”

“…This fungal strain, already reported as effective in the degradation and detoxification of textile, tannery, and pharmaceutical wastewaters [21,22], was evaluated in the treatment of raw landfill leachate (Canada) and, for the first time, on two synthetic wastewaters containing tannic and humic acids, which were selected as components of the recalcitrant fraction of landfill leachate [23][24][25]. In particular, several parameters, including COD, color removals, and MnP activity, were measured in the three effluents to verify whether the selected strain could be exploited as a bioremediation tool for the target effluents' recalcitrant fraction.…”

Recalcitrant compounds limit the efficiency of conventional biological processes for wastewater treatment, representing one of the major issues in the field. This study focused on the treatment of three effluents with White-Rot-Fungus (WRF) Bjerkandera adusta MUT 2295 in batch tests, with biomass cultivated in attached form on polyurethane foam cubes (PUFs) to test its efficiency in the removal of the target effluents' recalcitrant fraction. Treatment efficiency of B. adusta was evaluated on landfill leachate (Canada) and two solutions containing synthetic recalcitrant compounds, which were prepared with tannic and humic acid. Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and color removal, the production of manganese peroxidases, and the consumption of a co-substrate (glucose) were monitored during the experiment. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD 5 ) and fungal dry weight were measured at the beginning and at the end of the experiment. After co-substrate addition, effluent COD was 2300 ± 85, 2545 ± 84, and 2580 ± 95 (mg/L) in raw leachate and tannic and humic acids, respectively. COD removal of 48%, 61%, and 48% was obtained in raw leachate and in the synthetic effluents containing tannic and humic acids, respectively. Color removal of 49%, 25%, and 42% was detected in raw leachate and in tannic and humic acid solutions, respectively. COD and color removals were associated with the increase of fungal dry weight, which was observed in all the trials. These results encourage the use of the selected fungal strain to remove tannic acid, while further investigations are required to optimize leachate and humic acid bioremediation.
