Manganese peroxidase (MnP) is the most common lignin-modifying peroxidase produced
by almost all wood-colonizing basidiomycetes causing white-rot and various soil-colonizing …

Three peroxidases involved in lignin degradation are produced by white-rot fungi. Lignin
peroxidase (LiP) is characterized by oxidation of high redox-potential aromatic compounds …

Using enzymes as decontaminating agents has received great attention. One of the most
promising groups of enzymes, laccases, are used to decontaminate phenol-polluted …

In this paper, we provide a phylogenetic overview of Basidiomycota and related phyla in
relation to ten years of DNA based phylogenetic studies since the AFTOL publications in …

Lignin is amorphous in nature, lacks stereoregularity, and is not susceptible to hydrolytic
attack. Despite its resistant nature, it is however degraded by various microorganisms …

Aims: To discover novel laccases potential for industrial applications. Methods and Results:
Fungi were cultivated on solid media containing indicator compounds that enabled the …

The ligninolytic basidiomycetes Pleurotus eryngii, Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus
pulmonarius and Pleurotus sajor‐caju did not exhibit detectable levels of manganese …

It has been widely reported that the white rot basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium,
unlike most other white rot fungi, does not produce laccase, an enzyme implicated in lignin …

Ganoderma lucidum, a white rot basidiomycete widely distributed worldwide, was studied for
the production of the lignin-modifying enzymes laccase, manganese-dependent peroxidase …

The objective of this study was to investigate two major mechanisms for decolorization of
dyes by cultivation of fungi on either a solid or in a liquid phase and to confirm the possibility …
