An efficient PAH-degrading Lentinus (Panus) tigrinus strain: Effect of inoculum formulation and pollutant bioavailability in solid matrices

Comparative assessment of bioremediation approaches to highly recalcitrant PAH degradation in a real industrial polluted soil

“…Thus, the aim of the present study was to assess whether the stimulation of the resident fungal biota or, alternatively, the inoculation of exogenous effective PAHdegrading fungi [17,19] might be able to deplete the aforementioned residual contaminant fraction. Several studies report the ability of a variety of lignocellulosic materials to boost colonization by either resident or exogenously applied fungi in soil [28][29][30].…”

“…The selected matrix derived from a 180-d treatment in a pilot-scale biopile and, thus, was characterized by the presence of a highly recalcitrant PAH fraction. To perform the bioaugmentation approach, two allochthonous WRF strains, namely Trametes versicolor ATCC 42530 and Lentinus tigrinus CBS 577.79, were selected due to their previously reported PAH-degrading efficiencies and competition abilities with soil microbiota [17,18].…”

A Laccase with HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitory Activity from the Broth of Mycelial Culture of the MushroomLentinus tigrinus

“…Hence, most attention has been paid to its lignin-degrading strain, such as the hybrid Mn peroxidase of L. tigrinus 8/18 [25], an efficient PAH degrading strain of L. tigrinus [26], as well as the inducible enzyme including cellulose, xylanases (Elisashvili, Khardziani, Tsiklauri, and Kachlishvili, 1999), Mn peroxidase [25], and laccase [27, 28]. …”

Lentinus (Panus) tigrinus augmentation of a historically contaminated soil: Matrix decontamination and structure and function of the resident bacterial community

“…Among LF, Lentinus tigrinus has been shown to be able to degrade a variety of organic pollutants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [11,12], synthetic dyes [13], chlorinated phenols [14], 2,4,6-trinotrotoluene [15] and asphaltenes from hard coal [16]. These findings associated with its reported ability to produce significant amounts of LMEs on contaminated matrices [17] and to grow in the presence of heavy metals [18] suggest that it might be a promising species in bioremediation.…”
