TL;DR: Comparisons with the closely relatedwhite-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium support an evolutionary shift from white-rot to brown-rot during which the capacity for efficient depolymerization of lignin was lost.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and dibenzo[p]-dioxins by Phanerochaete chrysosporium ligninase.
TL;DR: It is reported that this enzyme also catalyzes the oxidation of certain aromatic pollutants and compounds related to them, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with ionization potentials less than or equal to approximately 7.55 eV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactive oxygen species as agents of wood decay by fungi
TL;DR: Although many wood decay basidiomycetes secrete oxidative and hydrolytic enzymes that participate in lignocellulose biodedgradation, it is generally recognized now that these enzymes cannot penetrate sound wood, and that fungi must employ smaller agents to initiate decay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of fungal peroxidases in biological ligninolysis
TL;DR: Progress in the dissolution and NMR spectroscopy of plant cell walls may allow new inferences about the nature of the oxidants involved, and increasing knowledge about the genomes of ligninolytic fungi may help decide whether any of the peroxidases has an essential role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of lignin peroxidase, horseradish peroxidase and laccase in the oxidation of methoxybenzenes.
TL;DR: The present study investigated the possibility that other peroxidative and oxidative enzymes known to catalyse one-electron oxidations may also oxidize non-phenolics to cation-radical intermediates and that this ability is related to the redox potential of the substrate.
