Pyrolysis characteristics and kinetics of lignin derived from enzymatic hydrolysis residue of bamboo pretreated with white-rot fungus.

Background: The lignocellulose biorefinery based on the sugar platform usually focuses on polysaccharide bioconversion, while lignin is only burned for energy recovery. Pyrolysis can provide a novel route for the efficient utilization of residual lignin obtained from the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose. The pyrolysis characteristics of residual lignin are usually significantly affected by the pretreatment process because of structural alteration of lignin during pretreatment.

Bioprocess of triphenylmethane dyes decolorization by Pleurotus ostreatus BP under solid-state cultivation.

With an aim to evaluate dye decolorization by white rot fungus on natural living conditions, reproducing by solidstate fermentation, the process of triphenylmethane dyes decolorization using the white rot fungus P. ostreatus BP, cultivated on rice straw solid-state medium, has been demonstrated. Three typical dyes, including malachite green, bromophenol blue, and crystal violet, were almost completely decolorized by the fungus after 9 days of incubation.

Biodegradation of crystal violet by low molecular mass fraction secreted by fungus.

Biodegradation of crystal violet by white rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus BP in rice straw solid-state medium mostly depended on low molecular mass fraction (LMMF) and the hypothetical metabolic pathways of crystal violet by LMMF was proposed by the biodegradation of crystal violet and by the deduced six metabolites formed.

The effect of biological pretreatment with the selective white-rot fungus Echinodontium taxodii on enzymatic hydrolysis of softwoods and hardwoods.

Selective white-rot fungi have shown potential for lignocellulose pretreatment. In the study, a new fungal isolate, Echinodontium taxodii 2538, was used in biological pretreatment to enhance the enzymatic hydrolysis of two native woods: Chinese willow (hardwood) and China-fir (softwood). E.

Decolorization of anthraquinone-type dye by bilirubin oxidase-producing nonligninolytic fungus Myrothecium sp. IMER1.

The decolorization of an anthraquinone dye, Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR), was carried out using a new isolated nonligninolytic fungus, strain Myrothecium sp. IMER1. In potato dextrose broth (PDB) containing RBBR, this strain was able to grow and decolorize the dye efficiently at pHs ranging from 4.
