Landslides are generated by natural causes and by human action, causing various
geomorphological changes as well as physical and socioeconomic loss of the environment …

The study of the role that fungi have played and are playing in fundamental geological
processes can be termed 'geomycology'and this article seeks to emphasize the fundamental …

The Basidiomycota constitutes a major phylum of the kingdom Fungi and is second in
species numbers to the Ascomycota. The present work provides an overview of all validly …

Chemical pollution threatens human health and ecosystem sustainability. Persistent organic
pollutants (POPs) like per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are expensive to clean up …

Manganese peroxidase (MnP) is the most common lignin-modifying peroxidase produced
by almost all wood-colonizing basidiomycetes causing white-rot and various soil-colonizing …

White-rot fungi produce various isoforms of extracellular oxidases including laccase, Mn
peroxidase and lignin peroxidase (LiP), which are involved in the degradation of lignin in …

Laccases (benzenediol: oxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10. 3.2) are multicopper oxidases that
are widely distributed among plants, insects, and fungi. They have been described in …

Hydrocarbons have been part of the biosphere for millions of years, and a diverse group of
prokaryotes has evolved to use them as a source of carbon and energy. To date, the vast …

Ligninolytic fungi can be used for remediation of pollutants in water and soil. Extracellular
peroxidases and laccases have been shown to oxidize recalcitrant compounds in vitro but …

Plant and fungal laccases belong to the family of multi‐copper oxidases and show much
broader substrate specificity than other members of the family. Laccases have consequently …
