Vinasse is the dark-colored wastewater that is generated by bioethanol distilleries from feedstock molasses. The vinasse that is generated from molasses contains high amounts of pollutants, including phenolic compounds and melanoindin. The goal of this work was to study the expression of laccase genes in the Trametes hirsuta strain Bm-2, isolated in Yucatan, Mexico, in the presence of phenolic ...

Trametes hirsuta is an efficient lignin-degrading species due to its ability to produce laccase and Mn-dependent peroxidase. Agricultural residues represent prospective substrates for the bioconversion into fungal biomass and lignocellulolytic enzymes, but also they could be potential environmental pollutants. Evaluation of the potential of T. hirsuta to produce ligninolytic enzymes during soli...

the rate and efficiency of decolorization of dyes likeblue ca, black b133, and corazol violet sr were tested to evaluate white rot fungal strains. trametes hirsuta and pleurotus florida showed the greatest extent ofdecolorization on nutrient salt media. maximum decolorization of 200 mg/l of blue 133 was obtained by 4days old incubated pleurotus florida followed bytrametes hirsuta after 6 days. ...

Trametes hirsuta and a purified laccase from this organism were able to degrade triarylmethane, indigoid, azo, and anthraquinonic dyes. Initial decolorization velocities depended on the substituents on the phenolic rings of the dyes. Immobilization of the T. hirsuta laccase on alumina enhanced the thermal stabilities of the enzyme and its tolerance against some enzyme inhibitors, such as halide...

Inflammation is a part of the non-specific immune response which occurs in reaction to any type of injury. Medicinal mushrooms have had application in various disorders including cancer, liver injuries, inflammation and diabetes. In the present study, the anti-inflammatory effects of the aqueous extracts of medicinal mushrooms (Fomes fomentarius, Ganoderma applanatum and T...

Trametes hirsuta (GenBank Accession Number: AB429065.1), a basidiomycete fungus was used for the production of laccases using different carbon sources namely glucose, sawdust, rice bran and wheat bran. Use of organic medium (agricultural/industrial wastes) is aimed to bring down the cost of media. Among these four carbon sources, the best laccase production was obtained in sawdust followed by w...

The mycelium composites composed of fungal and plant substrate are a practical alternative to petroleum plastic-based foam materials. However, the effects physiological traits fungus on composites’ microscopic structure mechanical properties remain poorly understood. Here, we compared two basidiomycetes with distinct morphology white-decay modes. Cross-sectional observation revealed that posses...
