The US Department of Energy has assembled a high quality draft genome of Phanerochaete chrysosporium, a white rot Basidiomycete capable of completely degrading all major components of plant cell walls including cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Hundreds of sequences are predicted to encode extracellular enzymes including an impressive number of oxidative enzymes potentially involved in ligno...

Production of manganese-dependent peroxidase (MnP) by the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium BKMF-1767 (ATCC 24725) was monitored during growth in different media and growth conditions. The effect of some activators of MnP production, Mn, Tween 80, phenylmethylsulphonylfloride (PMSF), oxygen, temperature, pH, glycerol and nitrogen was studied. Supplementing the cultures with Tween 80 ...

Twenty-two azo dyes were used to study the influence of substituents on azo dye biodegradability and to explore the possibility of enhancing the biodegradabilities of azo dyes without affecting their properties as dyes by changing their chemical structures. Streptomyces spp. and Phanerochaete chrysosporium were used in the study. None of the actinomycetes (Streptomyces rochei A10, Streptomyces ...

The mechanism of lignin degradation via white rot fungi was studied. Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Pleurotus ostreatus were used for all the experiments, i.e., measuring concentration structure alkali lignins studying effect substrate enzyme activity on removal. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry performed reaction liquid system. Alkali had a characteristic absorption spectrum with peak at ...

Abstract In this study, a solid phase extraction method was successfully applied in the preconcentration and determination of trace levels Cu(II) Cd(II) ions Phanerochaete chrysosporium (white rot fungus) modified bentonite used as adsorbent. After biosorption ions, metal concentrations samples were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. pH, adsorbent amount, eluent type, sample vol...

A series of N-alkylated analogues of 1-deoxynojirimycin containing a fluorescent 10-chloro-9-anthracene group in the N-alkyl substituent were prepared. The anthracene group acted as a reporting group for protonation at the nitrogen in the iminosugar because an unprotonated amine was found to quench fluorescence by photoinduced electron transfer. The new compounds were found to inhibit bglucosid...
