Published: December 1994

The application of scanning calorimetry to investigate laccase I from the lignin-degrading basidomycete PM1 (CECT 2971) showed three thermal transitions beneath the overall endotherm following the previous heating of the sample up to 60 degrees C. The thermodynamic parameters of these three transitions satisfy a model of two-state independent unfolding, supporting a three-domain organization of the enzyme. It is shown that the catalytic site of laccase I is located in the domain with the thermally-induced transition at 76 degrees C.

The growing demand for novel enzyme producers to meet industrial and environmental needs has driven interest in lignocellulose-degrading fungi. In this study, lignocellulolytic enzyme production capabilities of environmental fungal isolates collected from boreal coniferous and nemoral summer green deciduous forests were investigated, using Congo Red, ABTS, and Azure B as indicators of cellulolytic and ligninolytic enzyme productions. Through qualitative and quantitative assays, the study aimed to identify promising species for lignocellulose-degrading enzyme secretion and assess their potential for biotechnological applications.

Lignin is one of the main components in plants, which can transform value-added bioenergy and chemicals. At the same time, due to the close combination of lignin and hemicellulose in the structure, it becomes a barrier for cellulose utilization. Therefore, the effective degradation of lignin is of great significance for the utilization of these resources.

Green synthesized iron/manganese nanoparticles (Fe/Mn NPs), acted as an exogenous promoter to enhance the lignin-degrading bacteria Comamonas testosteroni FJ17 resulting in more efficient removal of bisphenol A (BPA). Batch experiments demonstrated that removal efficiency of BPA via cells at a BPA concentration of 10 mg·L increased by 20.9 % when exposed to 100 mg·L Fe/Mn NPs after 48 h (93.

Background: Lignin is an intricate phenolic polymer found in plant cell walls that has tremendous potential for being converted into value-added products with the possibility of significantly increasing the economics of bio-refineries. Although lignin in nature is bio-degradable, its biocatalytic conversion is challenging due to its stable complex structure and recalcitrance. In this context, an understanding of strain's genomics, enzymes, and degradation pathways can provide a solution for breaking down lignin to unlock the full potential of lignin as a dominant valuable bioresource.
