The history of colour is fascinating from a social and artistic viewpoint because it shows the
way; use; and importance acquired. The use of colours date back to the Stone Age (the first …

The inclusion of a pretreatment step in anaerobic digestion processes increases the
digestibility of lignocellulosic biomass and enhances biogas yields by promoting lignin …

Pretreatment is an important step involved in the production of bioethanol from
lignocelluosic biomass. Though several pretreatment regimes are available, biological …

Pleurotus genus is one of most extensively studied white-rot fungi due to its exceptional
ligninolytic properties. It is an edible mushroom and it also has several biological effects, as …

In this work, the production of fungal laccase was optimized from local isolate of Pleurotus
ostreatus using solid state fermentation. Factorial design was used to study the effect of …

Lignin modifying or extracellular enzymes secreted by the white rot fungi have the ability of
degrading wide range of lignocellulosic substrates and organic pollutants. Lignocellulosic …

Background The depletion of fossil fuel and its huge environmental problem are currently a
concern for a scientific community in the area of energy engineering. This opened research …

Abstract Laccases (EC 1.10. 3.2) produced by white-rot fungi (WRF) can be widely used, but
the high cost prevents their use in large-scale industrial processes. Finding a solution to the …

Background Fungal laccase has profound applications in different fields of biotechnology
due to its broad specificity and high redox potential. Any successful application of the …

Mycelium-based biofoam has the potential to become an alternative to petroleum-polymeric
based-foam by utilising fungal mycelium and lignocellulosic material as the matrix and …
