Identification of key residues for activities of atypical glutathione S-transferase of Ceriporiopsis subvermispora, a selective degrader of lignin in woody biomass, by crystallography and functional mutagenesis.

Ceriporiopsis subvermispora (C. subvermispora) is a selective degrader of lignin in the woody biomass. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are multifunctional enzymes that play important roles in cellular detoxification and metabolism.

Structure of a serine-type glutathione S-transferase of Ceriporiopsis subvermispora and identification of the enzymatically important non-canonical residues by functional mutagenesis.

Ceriporiopsis subvermispora (C. subvermispora), one of the white-rot fungi, is known as a selective lignin degrader of the woody biomass. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are multifunctional enzymes that are capable of catalyzing the reactions involved in detoxification and metabolic pathways.

Characterization of the glutathione S-transferases that belong to the GSTFuA class in Ceriporiopsis subvermispora: Implications in intracellular detoxification and metabolism of wood-derived compounds.

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) of wood-degrading fungi play essential roles in cellular detoxification processes and endogenous metabolism. Fungal GSTs of GSTFuA class are suggested to be involved in lignin degradation. Ceriporiopsis subvermispora is one of the important model fungi of the selective lignin degraders, we found it interesting to study its GSTs.

Simultaneous removal of AOX and COD from real recycled paper wastewater using GAC-SBBR.

A lab-scale granular activated carbon sequencing batch biofilm reactor (GAC-SBBR), a combined adsorption and biological process, was developed to treat real wastewater from a recycled paper mill. In this study, one-consortia of mixed culture (4000-5000 mg/L) originating from recycled paper mill activated sludge from Kajang, Malaysia was acclimatized. The GAC-SBBR was fed with real wastewater taken from the same recycled paper mill, which had a high concentration of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and adsorbable organic halides (AOX).
