Journal ArticleDOI
Fungal laccase: properties and activity on lignin
Andrzej Leonowicz,Nam-Seok Cho,Jolanta Luterek,Anna Wilkolazka,M. Wojtas-Wasilewska,Anna Matuszewska,Martin Hofrichter,Dirk Wesenberg,Jerzy Rogalski +8 more
TL;DR: The degradation of this compound is currently understood as an enzymatic process mediated by small molecules, therefore, this review will focus on the role of these mediators and radicals working in concert with enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of lignin by white rot fungi.
Andrzej Leonowicz,Anna Matuszewska,Jolanta Luterek,Dirk Ziegenhagen,Maria Wojtaś-Wasilewska,Nam-Seok Cho,Martin Hofrichter,Jerzy Rogalski +7 more
TL;DR: A review is presented related to the biochemistry of lignocellulose transformation that focuses on the roles of small molecular compounds and radicals working in concert with enzymes in wood rotting basidiomycetous fungi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fungi and their ability to decolourize azo and anthraquinonic dyes
Anna Jarosz-Wilkołazka,Janina Kochmańska-Rdest,Elzbieta Malarczyk,Władysław Wardas,Andrzej Leonowicz +4 more
TL;DR: It was found that the azo dye, Acid Red 183, was much more resistant to decolourization by the examined strains in both solid and liquid cultures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immobilization of laccase from Cerrena unicolor on controlled porosity glass
TL;DR: White-rot basidiomycete Cerrena unicolor grown in non-induced and induced conditions was tested for production of laccase, lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese-dependent peroxIDase (MnP).
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation and Action of Lignin-Modifying Enzymes in Cultures of Phlebia radiata Supplemented with Veratric Acid.
TL;DR: Transformation of veratric (3,4-dimethoxybenzoic) acid by the white rot fungus Phlebia radiata was studied to elucidate the role of ligninolytic, reductive, and demeth(ox)ylating enzymes and showed apparent demethoxylation.
