Lignin degradation: microorganisms, enzymes involved, genomes analysis and evolution
Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to describing degradation of wood, which is a complex process; hence, microorganisms have evolved different enzymatic and non-enzymatic strategies to utilize this plentiful plant material. This review describes a number of fungal and bacterial organisms which have developed both competitive and mutualistic strategies for the decomposition of wood a...
متن کاملThe Degradation of Heparin by Bacterial Enzymes
Extracts of acetone powders of Flavobacterium heparinum which have been adapted to heparin catalyze a rather extensive degradation of this mucopolysaccharide. This ‘Lheparinase” activity is due to the presence in the extract of a sulfamidase, a sulfesterase, and at least one glycosidase (1, 2). Such extracts also catalyze the hydrolysis of hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate. This paper com...
متن کاملLimited bacterial mineralization of fungal degradation intermediates from synthetic lignin.
The ability of selected bacterial strains and consortia to mineralize degradation intermediates produced by Phanerochaete chrysosporium from 14C-labeled synthetic lignins was studied. Three different molecular weight fractions of the intermediates were subjected to the action of the bacteria, which had been grown on a lignin-related dimeric compound. Two consortia isolated from wood being decay...
متن کاملAspergillus enzymes involved in degradation of plant cell wall polysaccharides.
Degradation of plant cell wall polysaccharides is of major importance in the food and feed, beverage, textile, and paper and pulp industries, as well as in several other industrial production processes. Enzymatic degradation of these polymers has received attention for many years and is becoming a more and more attractive alternative to chemical and mechanical processes. Over the past 15 years,...
متن کاملEnzymes and genes involved in aerobic alkane degradation
Alkanes are major constituents of crude oil. They are also present at low concentrations in diverse non-contaminated because many living organisms produce them as chemo-attractants or as protecting agents against water loss. Alkane degradation is a widespread phenomenon in nature. The numerous microorganisms, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, capable of utilizing alkanes as a carbon and energy s...
