Microbial metabolism of organosulfur compounds is of interest in the petroleum industry for in-field viscosity reduction and desulfurization. Here, dibenzyl sulfide (DBS) metabolism in white rot fungi was studied. Trametes trogii UAMH 8156, Trametes hirsuta UAMH 8165, Phanerochaete chrysosporium ATCC 24725, Trametes versicolor IFO 30340 (formerly Coriolus sp.), and Tyromyces palustris IFO 30339...

A cikkben ismertetjük a rostirányban tömörített, továbbá hőkezeléssel, valamint tejsavas telítéssel modifikált faanyagok fehér- és barnakorhadást okozó gombafajokkal szembeni ellenálló képességét. Azon bükk (Fagus sylvatica) minták ellenállóbbnak bizonyultak, melyeket telítést megelőzően tömörítettünk is. modifikáción átesett kocsánytalán tölgy (Quercus petraea) mindegyike nagyobb gombaállóságo...

This article reports on a novel biocatalytic method for the synthesis of both enantiomers lisofylline based Trametes versicolor laccase, TEMPO as redox mediator and stereocomplementary recombinant alcohol dehydrogenases biocatalysts.

ABSTRACT The first carboxylate reductase from Trametes versicolor was identified, cloned, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The enzyme reduces aromatic acids such as benzoic acid and derivatives, cinnamic acid, and 3-phenylpropanoic acid, but also aliphatic acids such as octanoic acid are reduced. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Introduction: Trametes versicolor, also known as Coriolus versicolor and commonly called Turkey Tail, is a medicinal mushroom hypothesized to improve immune function in women with breast cancer who have received standard treatment with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Natural killer (NK) cell activity of peripheral blood lymphocytes in cancer patients has been associated with favorable p...

Resistance of wood reacted in situ with phosphorus pentoxide-amine to the brown-rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum and white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor was examined. Wood reacted with either octyl, tribromo, or nitro derivatives were more resistant to both fungi. Threshold retention values of phosphoramide-reacted wood to white-rot fungus T. versicolor ranged from 2.9 to 13.3 mmol, while these...

Microorganisms display a range of oscillatory phenomena that operate over different temporal scales. Fourier analysis provides a compact description of such oscillations in terms of their frequency, magnitude and phase. However, in the majority of studies there is no explicit consideration of the spatial organisation of the oscillation. Here we describe procedures and a software package to map ...

Pulp and paper mill effluents pollute water, air and soil, causing a major threat to the environment. Several methods have been attempted by various researchers throughout the world for the removal of colour from pulp and paper mill effluents. The biological colour removal process uses several classes of microorganisms--bacteria, algae and fungi--to degrade the polymeric lignin derived chromoph...
