ROLE OF ENZYMES IN THE REMEDIATION OF POLLUTED ENVIRONMENTS (2010, background): “The oxidative lignolytic system is a complex, non-specific, very powerful extracellular enzymatic system and, under nutrientlimiting conditions, is capable of degrading lignolytic compounds, dyes and several environmental pollutants that cannot be degraded by other microorganisms (Reddy, 1995; Point”
BIOLOGICAL ASPECTS INVOLVED IN THE DEGRADATION OF ORGANIC POLLUTANTS (2010, background): “Pointing (2001) presents evidence for the involvement of ligninolytic enzymes in white-rot fungal degradation of munitions waste, pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, bleach plant effluent, synthetic dyes, synthetic polymers, and wood preservatives.”
Industrial and environmental applications of white-rot fungi (2017, background): “In addition, WRF treatments would expand the substrate range of current treatments by degrading pollutants that prokaryotes cannot (Pointing 2001).”
Optimization of physical and nutritional factors for synthesis of lignin degrading enzymes by a novel strain of Trametes vericolor (2011, background): “Crop residues (straws, corn by-products, bagasse, etc.) are valuable raw materials for fermentative production of industrial enzymes (Wong and Saddler 1993; Bhat 2000; Pointing 2001; Reddy et al. 2003).”
Biodegradation of lindane pesticide by non white- rots soil fungus Fusarium sp. (2011, background): “Although white rot fungi possess an efficient enzyme system, but they are very slow growing species and also require oxygen rich environment for their growth (Nagpal et al. 2008; Pointing 2001).”
Optimization of lignocellulolytic enzyme production by the white-rot fungus Trametes trogii in solid-state fermentation using response surface methodology (2008, background): “WRF secrete one or more of the three enzymes ssential for lignin degradation [2,3].”
Degradation of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products by White-Rot Fungi—a Critical Review (2017, background): “Several features of WRF make their application for PPCP removal attractive: (i) the non-specificity of their enzyme systems, facilitating degradation of a broad spectrum of pollutants [36, 37]; (ii) the hyphal growth, a defining property of filamentous fungi including WRF, enabling them to access po”
Influence of cultivation temperature on the ligninolytic activity of selected fungal strains (2006, background): “Apart from these enzymes, a number of other peroxidases are produced such as glyoxal oxidase and non-specific enzymes which are correlated with the degradation of lignocellulose [5].”
