Lignocellulose degradation potential of Basidiomycota from Thrace (NE Greece)

Proteomics Reveals Octyl Gallate as an Environmentally Friendly Wood Preservative Leading to Reactive Oxygen Species-Driven Metabolic Inflexibility and Growth Inhibition in White-Rot Fungi (Lenzites betulina and Trametes versicolor)

“…Figure 5 presents the laccase and MnP activities of L. betulina and T. versicolor . The rate and extent of laccase and MnP activities of T. versicolor were significantly higher than those of L. betulina , consistent with the reports of Sergentani et al [ 19 ] and Alberts et al [ 20 ]. Additionally, as shown in Figure 5 A,B, neither enzyme of L. betulina was expressed when OG was added, consistent with the result reported by Tortella et al [ 21 ].…”

Potential of selected fungal species to degrade wheat straw, the most abundant plant raw material in Europe

“…Intraspecific variability in ligninolytic enzymes activities during submerged fermentation of mandarin peels with G. applanatum and Trametes versicolor , as well as solid-state fermentation of grapevine sawdust with numerous strains of Pleurotus species and wheat straw with L. edodes and T. versicolor was also demonstrated by Stajić et al [ 20 ] and Songulashvili et al [ 24 ]. Numerous results also demonstrated significant differences in MnP and laccase activity among P. ostreatus strains originated from various areas and cultivated on various plant raw materials under submerged or solid-state conditions [ 1 , 25 , 26 ]. Thus, in submerged fermentation of sugarcane bagasse, Dong et al [ 25 ] noted MnP activity of even 150,000 U L −1 and absence of laccase production, while in cultivation on wheat bran under the same conditions strain studied by Sergentani et al [ 1 ] synthetized highly active laccase (4730 U L −1 ) but not MnP.…”

On the other hand, solid-state cultivation induced well secretion of the enzymes independently on substrate.…”

“…Lignocellulose, a structural component of plant biomass, is considered to be the most abundant renewable organic resource in terrestrial environments. It consists of a cellulose-hemicellulose matrix immersed in net of lignin, the most recalcitrant natural aromatic polymer [ 1 ]. Although various methodologies for the biomass delignification are available, they are commonly unsatisfactory due to high process cost, significant energy consumption and release of non-enviromentally friendly by-products [ 2 ].…”

Isolation and Screening of Lignin and Cellulose Degrading Proficient Microbial Strains from Diverse Biotic Substrates Based on Qualitative Traits

“…Lignocellulose is one of the major sustainable, eco-friendly component predominantly found in terrestrial plants comprising half of the plant matter produced by photosynthesis Kamm et al, (2004) and Sergentani et al, (2016). These terrestrial plants fixes carbon into a macromolecular composite matrix which consists of three different types of polymers namely carbohydrate polymers including cellulose (35-50%), hemicellulose (25-30%) and aromatic polymers which includes lignin (25-30%) (Ragauskas et al, 2006).…”
