Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation aspects of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs): A review
A. K. Haritash,C.P. Kaushik +1 more
TL;DR: The biodegradation of PAHs has been observed under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and the rate can be enhanced by physical/chemical pretreatment of contaminated soil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of spent mushroom compost to bioremediate PAH-contaminated samples.
K.L. Lau,Y.Y. Tsang,Siu Wai Chiu +2 more
TL;DR: The SMC-treated PAH samples had significantly reduced or removed their toxicities as revealed by the Microtox bioassay, and demonstrate the potential in employing SMC in ex situ bioremediation.
Journal ArticleDOI
One stop mycology
TL;DR: This listing covers the period May 1, 1997 through to June 30, 1997, which roughly corresponds with the British Mycological Society's Special Interest Committees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential uses of spent mushroom substrate and its associated lignocellulosic enzymes
TL;DR: Scientific research and practical applications of SMS as a readily available and cheap source of enzymes for bioremediation, animal feed and energy feedstock are reviewed.
BookDOI
Wood production, wood technology, and biotechnological impacts
TL;DR: To applications of mediators to improve mechanical properties by laccase action, recent studies suggest that a successive xylanase-laccase treatment with or without mediators might also be useful in efficiently modifying fibre surfaces at least in paper production.

Lignocellulose-degrading actinomycetes
TL;DR: There is little doubt that actinomycetes compare poorly with the whiterot fungi in relation to the extent of delignification achieved, particularly with wood lignocelluloses, but their ability to solubilise grass lignins may have a role in humification and biotechnological applications of lignOcellulose conversion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of an extracellular lignin peroxidase of the lignocellulolytic actinomycete Streptomyces viridosporus
TL;DR: This is the first report of a lignin peroxidase in a bacterium designated as ALiP-P3 and characterizations showed that this enzyme is a heme protein (Soret band, 408 nm) and a major component of the ligninolytic system of S. viridosporus T7A.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acetyl xylan esterases in fungal cellulolytic systems
TL;DR: It is shown that enzymes liberating acetic acid from an acetylated xylan occur in several fungal cellulolytic systems, and an additional step will have to be considered in current concepts for the degradation of hemicellulose by xylanases and xylosidases.
Book
The biology and technology of the cultivated mushroom.
TL;DR: Methods of producing the cultivated mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, have advanced dramatically over the past decade, and for the most part improvements in technology have been generated by fundamental advances in understanding of the basic biology of the crop.
