A new lignin-degrading basidiomycete, strain PM1 (= CECT 2971), was isolated from the
wastewater of a paper factory. The major ligninolytic activity detected in the basidiomycete …

We have isolated and characterized the cDNA and genomic DNA coding for a
phenoloxidase, laccase I, previously purified from culture supernatant of the newly isolated …

It was recently shown that the white rot basidiomycete Pycnoporus cinnabarinus secretes an
unusual set of phenoloxidases when it is grown under conditions that stimulate ligninolysis …

The hard wood-colonizing ascomycete Xylaria polymorpha, that is seemingly lacking
peroxidases, produces laccase as sole ligninolytic oxidoreductase. The fungus secreted the …

The gene (pox1) encoding a phenol oxidase from Pleurotus ostreatus, a lignin-degrading
basidiomycete, was cloned and sequenced, and the corresponding pox1 cDNA was also …

Lignin is amorphous in nature, lacks stereoregularity, and is not susceptible to hydrolytic
attack. Despite its resistant nature, it is however degraded by various microorganisms …

A highly efficient laccase-producing fungus was isolated from soil and identified as Coltricia
perennis SKU0322 by its morphology and by comparison of its internal transcribed spacer …

A new lignin-degrading basidiomycete, strain I-62 (CECT 20197), isolated from decayed
wood exhibited both a high dephenolization activity and decolorization capacity when tested …

A recently isolated basidiomycete, Trametes sp. strain AH28-2, can be induced to produce a
high level of laccases when grown on a cellobiose-asparagine liquid medium. After …

A laccase, the only ligninolytic enzyme produced by the basidiomycete Pleurotus ostreatus
strain RK 36 was purified to homogeneity and characterized. The enzyme is a monomeric …
