Color Stains on Paper: Fungal Pigments, Synthetic Dyes and Their Hypothetical Removal by Enzymatic Approaches

Fungi are the main contaminants of books and archival documents. In addition to their degrading power, offered by various types lignolytic cellulolytic enzymes, they can also hue surface paper through production pigments. The fungi on release pigments belonging mostly two chemical groups (polyketides carotenoids), which cause unpleasant anaesthetic stains. be hued with several synthetic colors, part, for example, stamps inks. These colors could degraded lignin-modifying enzymes (LMEs) dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs). Therefore, mechanism action LEMs DyPs is illustrated. Moreover, we have examined potentiality remove stains hypothetical application in order clean fungal hues from surface. Our review article, using enzymatic removal parallelism between pigments, would like show prospective solutions this arduous problem.
