Immobilization of enzymes on porous inorganic materials is very important for biocatalysis and biotransformation. In this paper, nanoporous gold (NPG) was used as a support for lignin peroxidase (LiP) immobilization. NPG with a pore size of 40-50 nm was prepared by dealloying Au/Ag alloy (50:50 wt%) for 17 h. By incubation with LiP aqueous solution, LiP was successfully immobilized on NPG. The optimal temperature of the immobilized LiP was ca. 40, 10 degrees C higher than that of free LiP. After 2h incubation at 45 degrees C, 55% of the initial activity of the immobilized LiP was still retained while the free LiP was completely deactivated. In addition, a high and sustainable LiP activity was achieved via in situ release of H(2)O(2) by a co-immobilized glucose oxidase. The present co-immobilization system was demonstrated to be very effective for LiP-mediated dye decolourization.

Phanerochaete chrysosporium (Pc), is a prominent lignin-degrading fungus which serves as an important source for lignin-degrading enzymes (LDEs). The present study was focused on a detailed in silico analysis and gene expression patterns of lignin peroxidases (PcLiPs), which is a significant class of LDEs. In spite of extensive research on P.

Azo dye wastewater has garnered significant attention from researchers because of its association with high-temperature, high-salt, and high-alkali conditions. In this study, consortium ZZ efficiently decolorized brown D3G under halophilic and thermophilic conditions. he results indicated that consortium ZZ, which was mainly dominated by Marinobacter, Bacillus, and Halomonas, was achieved decolorization rates ranging from 1 to 10% at temperatures between 40 °C and 50 °C, while maintaining a pH range of 7 to 10 for direct brown D3G degradation.

Article Synopsis
- White-rot fungi, like Phanerochaete chrysosporium, are essential for breaking down lignocellulosic biomass, which includes important components like cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, thus contributing to the carbon cycle.
- These fungi use various enzymes—such as lignin peroxidases and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases—to degrade lignin and its derivatives, though more research is needed to fully understand the metabolic pathways involved.
- The metabolic flexibility of these fungi allows them to adapt their enzyme production, specifically through the interplay of key pathways, enhancing their efficiency in degrading lignin for potential biotechnological applications.

Endophytic fungi have a strong affinity for producing the same or comparable compounds to those produced by their hosts. Herein, genetic diversity and environmental adaptation of the species were briefly investigated. The genetic flexibility in represents an evolutionary mechanism that allows them to respond effectively to environmental changes.
