Fungal Laccases Degradation of Endocrine Disrupting Compounds
Over the past decades, water pollution by trace organic compounds (ng/L) has become one of the key environmental issues in developed countries. This is the case of the emerging contaminants called endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). EDCs are a new class of environmental pollutants able to mimic or antagonize the effects of endogenous hormones, and are recently drawing scientific and public a...
متن کاملMechanisms for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon degradation by ligninolytic fungi.
Ligninolytic fungi accomplish the partial degradation of numerous aromatic organopollutants. Their ability to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is particularly interesting because eukaryotes were previously considered to be unable to cleave fused-ring aromatics. Recent results indicate that extracellular peroxidases of these fungi are responsible for the initial oxidation of PAHs....
متن کاملRemoval of estrogenic activity of endocrine-disrupting genistein by ligninolytic enzymes from white rot fungi.
Endocrine-disrupting genistein was treated with the white rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 under ligninolytic condition with low-nitrogen and high-carbon culture medium. Genistein decreased by 93% after 4 days of treatment and the activities of ligninolytic enzymes, manganese peroxidase (MnP) and laccase, were detected during treatment, thus suggesting that the disappearance of genistein...
متن کاملOxidative Degradation of Benzo[a]pyrene by the Ligninolytic Fungi
A maximal degradation rate (76%) was obtained when Polyporus sp. S133 was cultured with 0.05% of tween 80, as compared to just 35% degradation in non-supplemented cultures. When fungus Polyporus sp. S133 was grown in presence of shitake’s nutrient, the degradation rate increased up to 69% as compared to just 56 and 40% degradation in glucose and polypeptone supplemented cultures. One metabolite...
متن کاملDegradation of xenobiotic compounds by lignin-degrading white-rot fungi: enzymology and mechanisms involved.
White-rot fungi (WRF) are ubiquitous in nature with their natural ability to compete and survive. WRF are the only organisms known to have the ability to degrade and mineralize recalcitrant plant polymer lignin. Their potential to degrade second most abundant carbon reserve material lignin on the earth make them important link in global carbon cycle. WRF degrade lignin by its unique ligninolyti...
