CO2 emissions are the primary reason for global warming; hence, biological and chemical technologies converting into useful compounds being actively studied. Biological methods using enzymes can convert under mild conditions. Formate dehydrogenase (FDH) is a representative conversion enzyme. Its function was revealed after isolation from bacteria, yeast, plants. In this study, we evaluated pote...

Neobalanocarpus heimii (Cengal) is from the family Dipterocarpaceae. It a long-lasting wood that also one of most robust timbers in world. This species native to Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand. In this study, Cengal heartwood was studied concerning amount water extractive content with antifungal properties heimii. The dilution method used test properties. Wood meals samples were subj...

This study was conducted to improve the ability of indigenous New Zealand white-rot fungi to remove pentachlorophenol (PCP) from contaminated field soil. The effects of different bioaugmentation conditions on PCP removal and extracellular enzyme expression were measured in the laboratory. The conditions were fungal growth substrate and co-substrate composition, culture age, and Tween 80 additio...

Effects of nano-clay on weight loss of wood-plastic composites (WPC) by five fungi were studied. Nanoclay particles of 20 to 50 nm size were applied at 2, 4, and 6% WPC of 0,90 g/cm3 density. The white-rot fungi Physisporinus vitreus, Pleurotus ostreatus and Trametes versicolor as well as the brown-rot species Antrodia vaillantii and Coniophora puteana were used. Mass loss tests were conducted ...

Biodegradation by white rot fungi Abstract Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a major organic compound used in the wood preservation. White rot fungal strains screened from local sources such as wood trunks and twigs of higher plants. Five selected isolates of White Rot Fungi (WRF) Viz: Laetiporus cincinnatus, Trametes versicolor, Fomes fomentarius, Ganoderma aplanutum and Pleurotus ostreatus isolated ...
