Fungal, ligninolytic enzymes have attracted a great attention for their bioremediation capabilities. A deficient knowledge of regulation of enzyme production, however, hinders the use of ligninolytic fungi in bioremediation applications. In this work, a transcriptional analyses of laccase and manganese peroxidase (MnP) production by two white rots was combined with determination of pI of the en...

The fungus Irpex Lacteus is effective in decolourising methylene blue, a common dye printing and dyeing wastewater, it of clear significance to investigate its optimal decolourisation process through liquid fermentation. medium mixed with blue was incubated constant temperature shaking flask fermentation equipment, single factors such as incubation time, temperature, bed speed, concentration, p...

This study reports the effects of online peer assessment, in the form of peer grading and peer feedback, on students’ learning. One hundred and eighty one high school students engaged in peer assessment via an online system—iLap. The number of gradegiving and grade-receiving experiences was examined and the peer feedback was coded according to different cognitive and affective dimensions. The e...

This report describes novel fungal inocula for bioaugmentation of soils contaminated with hazardous organic compounds. The inocula are in the form of pelleted solid substrates coated with a sodium alginate suspension of fungal spores or mycelial fragments and incubated until overgrown with the mycelium of selected lignin-degrading fungi. The organisms evaluated were Phanerochaete chrysosporium ...
