Lignin peroxidase immobilization was achieved by covalent coupling on CNBr-Sepharose 4B. Protein immobilization yield was around 80%. For veratryl alcohol oxidation, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, both soluble and bound enzymes exhibited the same pH profile with an optimum near 2.5. Catalytic parameters (kc and Km) were seriously affected by immobilization. On the other hand, immobilization provided a noticeable stabilization of the enzyme against acidic pH and high temperatures. A 15-20 increase in the half-inactivation times at pH 2.2 and 2.7, respectively, could be observed. Bound enzyme was also much more thermostable than soluble.

Background: The composition of anaerobically digested sludge is inherently complex, enriched with structurally complex organic compounds and nitrogenous constituents, which are refractory to biodegradation. These characteristics limit the subsequent rational utilization of resources from anaerobically digested sludge. White-rot fungi (WRF) have garnered significant research interest due to their exceptional capacity to degrade complex and recalcitrant organic pollutants.

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.
