Fungal Ribotoxins: A Review of Potential Biotechnological Applications
Fungi establish a complex network of biological interactions with other organisms in nature. In many cases, these involve the production of toxins for survival or colonization purposes. Among these toxins, ribotoxins stand out as promising candidates for their use in biotechnological applications. They constitute a group of highly specific extracellular ribonucleases that target a universally c...
متن کاملBioprospecting and biotechnological applications of fungal laccase.
Laccase belongs to a small group of enzymes called the blue multicopper oxidases, having the potential ability of oxidation. It belongs to enzymes, which have innate properties of reactive radical production, but its utilization in many fields has been ignored because of its unavailability in the commercial field. There are diverse sources of laccase producing organisms like bacteria, fungi and...
متن کاملFungal laccase – a versatile enzyme for biotechnological applications
Laccase belongs to the small group of enzymes called the blue multi copper oxidases. Laccase is widely distributed in higher plants and fungi. In fungi, laccase is present in Ascomycetes, Deuteromycetes, Basidiomycetes and is particularly abundant in many white-rot fungi that degrade lignin. Laccases have been subject of intensive research in the last decades due to their broad substrate specif...
متن کاملPotential of Extremophiles for Biotechnological and Petroleum Applications
The ability of microorganisms to survive under harsh conditions has recently prompted researchers to study these microbes to better understand their characteristics and eventually utilize them in various applications. Extremophilic microorganisms withstand one or more extreme condition constraints due to cold, heat, high acidity, high alkalinity, high salinity, and high pressure levels. These c...
متن کاملComparison of general fungal and basidiomycete-specific ITS primers for identification of wood decay fungi
The identity of the fungi associated with and responsible for wood decay could lead to the development of more environmentally benign wood preservative systems. In this study we have reconstructed the phylogenetic tree of a select group of basidiomycete fungi using nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. We then compared this to trees generated from restriction fra...
