“…Many researchers have observed that MnPs are found in many microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and algae. [23,24]. A fungus produces/secretes one or more of three extracellular enzymes that are necessary for lignin degradation: LiP, MnP, and laccase.…”

Microbial ligninolytic enzymes like laccase, manganese peroxidase, and lignin peroxidase have gained much attention in many industrial applications. Among these, manganese peroxidases are key contributors in the microbial ligninolytic system. It mainly oxidizes Mn(II) ions that remain present in wood and soils, into more reactive Mn 3+ form, stabilized by fungal chelators like oxalic acids. However, Mn 3+ acts as a diffusible redox intermediate, a low molecular weight compound, which breaks phenolic lignin and produces free radicals that have a tendency to disintegrate involuntarily. It has a great application potential and ample opportunities in diverse area, such as alcohol, pulp and paper, biofuel, agriculture, cosmetic, textile, and food industries. This review article is focused on the sources, catalytic reaction mechanisms and different biotechnological applications. However, manganese peroxidases have a potential for degradation of many xenobiotic compounds and produce polymeric products formulated them into valuable tools for bioremediation purposes. In addition, microbial MnPs can also convert lignin into biomass so that the sugar can be converted into bio-fuels. Thus, this review article is mainly focused and highlighted the current scenario and updated information on manganese peroxidase enzyme.

“…During ethanol production (such as biofuel, for industrial applications or alcoholic beverages) a waste product known as vinasse is generated which vary as function of the feedstock used in this process of which (between 10 and 18 liters for each liter of ethanol produced). This vinasse has a high content of organic matter (50 -150 g/L of COD), and acid pH (3 -5) and it has been reported the presence of toxic and recalcitrant compounds that give it a dark brown color of this waste product (Chowdhary et al, 2017;Noa-Bolaño et al, 2020). With the objective to diminish these characteristics, several studies have been carried out to develop efficient techniques in vinasse treatment, like physical-chemical and biological treatments.…”

“…With the increasing demand for alcohol due to its export potential, potable uses, as readily available energy source and as a raw material for the rapidly advancing chemical industry, the number of distilleries in India has increased drastically especially during the last decade. However, the pollution control boards and environmentalists assessed these distilleries as highly polluting units mainly due to generation of foul smelling, dark colored wastewater known as spentwash (Chowdhary et al, 2017).…”

To assess the ground water pollution with varied amounts of primary treated distillery spentwash (DSW) application, locally prepared piezometer were installed in the field at various depths (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 m) and the collected leachate was characterized. Leachate was collected in piezometers upto 0.5 m depth with lower levels of DSW application (<750 m 3 ha -1 ) and upto 1.0 m depth with >750 m 3 ha -1 after 30 days of DSW application and indicated that increasing quantities of DSW application increased the pH, EC, COD, NO 3 -, HCO 3 -, Cl -, Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ and Na + contents in leachate. Leachate collected in piezometers after 60 days of DSW application showed increased leaching of NO 3 -, HCO 3 -, Cland Na + with increasing depth, while leaching of Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ decreased with depth. Chemical oxygen demand of percolating water decreased with increasing depth of soil column. However, application of DSW @ 1500 m 3 ha -1 increased all the parameters in leachate indicating its possible contamination over the period to underground water. Further, the effect of percolating DSW on soil was studied by opening the soil vertical profile upto 120 cm depth. The soil reaction and soluble salt content increased with soil depth upto 90 cm and with increased rate of DSW application. Organic carbon, Available primary nutrients viz., N, P 2 O 5 , K 2 O, Exchangeable Ca, Mg and Na and DTPA micronutrient content (Fe, Zn, Mn and Cu) increased in surface soil (upto 30 cm) with increased rate of DSW application and while sub surface soil (60-120 cm) content showed insignificant variation. organic carbon in soil surface increased with increasing quantity of DSW application. The spentwash application at the rate below 750 m 3 ha -1 increased soil nutrient content with lower percolating leachate indicating its beneficial use for agriculture purpose. However, the application rate of 1500 m 3 ha -1 may cause detrimental effect on surface soil electrochemical properties and percolating leachate may cause contamination of underground water under higher water table condition.
