Pretreatment is a crucial step in the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to fermentable
sugars and biofuels. Compared to thermal/chemical pretreatment, fungal pretreatment …

Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to characterizing expression of laccases
and peroxidases and their regulation in numerous fungal species. Much attention has been …

Fungal laccases are phenol oxidases widely studied for their use in several industrial
applications, including pulp bleaching in paper industry, dye decolourisation, detoxification …

Genome analyses revealed in various basidiomycetes the existence of multiple genes for
blue multi-copper oxidases (MCOs). Whole genomes are now available from saprotrophs …

Laccases are ubiquitous oxidases present in animals, plants, bacteria, and fungi. In plant
species, they occur as large multigenic families. The involvement of peroxidases in …

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant renewable resource in nature and has
received considerable attention as one of the most promising alternatives to oil resources for …

Laccases, blue copper-containing oxidases,≿ an play an important role in a variety of
natural processes. The majority of fungal laccases are encoded by multigene families that …

The effect of copper on the expression of genes encoding the ligninolytic enzymes laccase
(lcs) and manganese peroxidase (mnp) in Ceriporiopsis subvermispora was evaluated. This …

As white-rot basidiomycetes, Phanerochaete species are critical to the cycling of carbon
sequestered as woody biomass, and are predicted to encode many enzymes that can be …

White-rot fungi, especially Trametes strains, are the primary source of industrial laccases in
bioenergy and bioremediation. Trametes strains express members of the laccase gene …
