The paleozoic origin of enzymatic lignin decomposition reconstructed from 31 fungal genomes

Dimitrios Floudas, +70 more
- 29 Jun 2012 - 
TL;DR: Comparative analyses of 31 fungal genomes suggest that lignin-degrading peroxidases expanded in the lineage leading to the ancestor of the Agaricomycetes, which is reconstructed as a white rot species, and then contracted in parallel lineages leading to brown rot and mycorrhizal species.

Expansion of the enzymatic repertoire of the CAZy database to integrate auxiliary redox enzymes

TL;DR: A new class introduced in the CAZy database is named “Auxiliary Activities” in order to accommodate a range of enzyme mechanisms and substrates related to lignocellulose conversion and provides a better coverage of the full extent of the lignin degradation machinery.

Lignin degradation: microorganisms, enzymes involved, genomes analysis and evolution.

TL;DR: A detailed description of low molecular weight compounds is presented, which gives these organisms not only an advantage in wood degradation processes, but seems rather to be a new evolutionatory alternative to enzymatic combustion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lignin-degrading enzymes.

TL;DR: Recently investigations have expanded the range of natural biocatalysts involved in lignin degradation/modification and significant progress related to enzyme engineering and recombinant expression has been made, suggesting the potential (industrial) application of ligninolytic enzymes.

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.

Laccase: new functions for an old enzyme.

TL;DR: This work has focused on more recent reports on the occurrence of laccase and its functions in physiological development and industrial utility and the reports of molecular weights, pH optima, and substrate specificity are extremely diverse.

Oxidation of non-phenolic substrates. An expanded role for laccase in lignin biodegradation.

TL;DR: Laccase is capable of oxidizing both phenolic and non‐phenolic moieties of lignin but that the latter is dependent on the co‐presence of primary laccase substrates.
