Fungi are considered among the most efficient microbial degraders of plastics, as they
produce salient enzymes and can survive on recalcitrant compounds with limited nutrients …

One of natures most important biological processes is the degradation of lignocellulosic
materials to carbon dioxide, water and humic substances. This implies possibilities to use …

The US Department of Energy has assembled a high quality draft genome of Phanerochaete
chrysosporium, a white rot Basidiomycete capable of completely degrading all major …

A free radical-coupled copper complex has been identified as the catalytic structure in the
active site of glyoxal oxidase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium based on a combination of …

Lignin is the most abundant aromatic polymer in nature. It is synthesized by higher plants,
reaching levels of 20-30% of the dry weight of woody tissue. Although white-rot fungi were …

The wood decay basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium was grown under standard
ligninolytic or cellulolytic conditions and subjected to whole-genome expression microarray …

Lignocellulosic biomass represents perhaps the most abundant renewable resource with a
potential to replace fossil‐based feedstock for sustainable energy, chemical and materials …

This review highlights significant recent advances in the molecular genetics of white-rot
fungi and identifies areas where information remains sketchy. The development of critical …

Pyranose oxidases are widespread among lignin-degrading white rot fungi and are
localized in the hyphal periplasmic space. They are relatively large flavoproteins which …

Extracellular peroxide generation, a key component of oxidative lignocellulose degradation,
has been attributed to various enzymes including the copper radical oxidases. Encoded by a …
