Heme-containing peroxidases secreted by fungi are a fascinating group of biocatalysts with
various ecological and biotechnological implications. For example, they are involved in the …

Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to characterizing expression of laccases
and peroxidases and their regulation in numerous fungal species. Much attention has been …

Filamentous fungi owe powerful abilities for decomposition of the extensive plant material,
lignocellulose, and thereby are indispensable for the Earth's carbon cycle, generation of soil …

Many fungi degrade cellulose and hemicelluloses using extracellular hydrolytic enzymes,
but fungi that degrade woody biomass are the only ones to efficiently degrade …

Versatile peroxidase (VP) is defined by its capabilities to oxidize the typical substrates of
other basidiomycete peroxidases:(i) Mn2+, the manganese peroxidase (MnP) substrate …

Abstract Background Manganese peroxidase (MnP) of white rot basidiomycetes, an
extracellular heme enzyme, is part of a peroxidase superfamily that is capable of degrading …

Mushrooms of the genus Pleurotus are comprised of cultivated edible ligninolytic fungi with
medicinal properties and a wide array of biotechnological and environmental applications …

The genomes of three representative Polyporales (Bjerkandera adusta, Phlebia brevispora
and a member of the Ganoderma lucidum complex) were sequenced to expand our …

Abstract Background The white-rot Agaricomycetes species Phlebia radiata is an efficient
wood-decaying fungus degrading all wood components, including cellulose, hemicellulose …

An anthracene-degrading strain, identified as Aspergillus fumigatus, showed a favorable
ability in degradation of anthracene. The degradation efficiency could be maintained at …
