Journal ArticleDOI
Fungal laccases - occurrence and properties.
TL;DR: The fact that laccases only require molecular oxygen for catalysis makes them suitable for biotechnological applications for the transformation or immobilization of xenobiotic compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Variability of the 16S rRNA Gene in Bacterial Genomes and Its Consequences for Bacterial Community Analyses
Tomáš Větrovský,Petr Baldrian +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the information on 16S rRNA copy numbers and genome sizes of genome-sequenced bacteria may be used as an estimate for the closest related taxon in an environmental dataset to calculate alternative estimates of the relative abundance of individual bacterial taxa in environmental samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of cellulose by basidiomycetous fungi.
Petr Baldrian,Vendula Valášková +1 more
TL;DR: The efficiency and regulation of cellulose degradation differs among wood-rotting, litter-decomposing, mycorrhizal or plant pathogenic fungi and yeasts due to the different roles of cellulOSE degradation in the physiology and ecology of the individual groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active and total microbial communities in forest soil are largely different and highly stratified during decomposition.
Petr Baldrian,Miroslav Kolařík,Martina Štursová,Jan Kopecký,Vendula Valášková,Tomáš Větrovský,Lucia Žifčáková,Jaroslav Šnajdr,Jakub Ridl,Čestmír Vlček,Jana Voříšková +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that low-abundance species make an important contribution to decomposition processes in soils, and cellulose decomposition is mediated by highly diverse fungal populations largely distinct between soil horizons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions of heavy metals with white-rot fungi
TL;DR: The ability of white-rot fungi to adsorb and accumulate metals together with the excellent mechanical properties of fungal mycelial pellets provide an opportunity for application of funGal mycelia in selective sorption of individual heavy metal ions from polluted water.
