Selective Medium for Isolating Phanerochaete chrysosporium from Soil.

Biological Removal of Dibenzothiophene from Soil and Changes to soil Sulfate by White-Rot Fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium

This study investigated biodegradation of dibenzothiophene (DBT) in marsh soil spiked bywhite-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Soil samples were spiked with 100 ppm DBTand incubated at 30°C in a dark chamber for 30 days. Samples were evaluated for pH, Mnperoxidaseactivity, sulfate ion concentration and growth during the tests. Results showedmaximum levels of pH, Mn-peroxidase and sulfate...

Sensitivity to and Degradation of Pentachlorophenol by Phanerochaete spp.

This research measured mycelial extension rates of selected strains of Phanerochaete chrysorhiza, Phanerochaete laevis, Phanerochaete sanguinea, Phanerochaete filamentosa, Phanerochaete sordida, Inonotus circinatus, and Phanerochaete chrysosporium and the ability of these organisms to tolerate and degrade the wood preservative pentachlorophenol (PCP) in an aqueous medium and in soil. Most of th...

Biodegradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by white rot fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium in sterile and unsterile soil

Ligninolytic white rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, isolated from soil sample of petroleum refinery, was used for degradation of five polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs: acenaphthene, anthracene, phenanthrene, fluoranthene and pyrene), simultaneously and individually in sterile and unsterile soil. For maximum biodegradation, after 42 days of incubation, optimum conditions were pH 7....

Decolorization of Molasses Waste Water from an Alcoholic Fermentation Process with Phanerochaete Chrysosporium Involvement of Ligninase

Waste water from a molasses alcoholic fermentation plant (MWW) was treated biologically with Phanerochaete chrysosporium. The ability of this white-rot fungus to degrade the dark colored pigments present in MWW and the consequent decrease the effluent's color was examined. The Optimum concentration of MWW for color removal was determined and set at the ratio of 1:10. The color changes durin...
