Lignin degradation by the white-rot fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Coriolus versicolor, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, Lentinus edodes, Grifola frondosa, Polyporus brumalis, and Merulius tremellosus was faster in an atmosphere of oxygen than in air. Gloeoporus dichrous, Pleurotus ostreatus, and Bondarzewia berkeleyi degraded lignin at equal rates in oxygen and in air. Increased oxygen partial pressure also stimulated carbohydrate consumption by most of the fungi. In liquid shake culture, the fungi grew as well under an atmosphere of oxygen as air. However, respiration was faster under oxygen, suggesting that the fungi required more energy for growth and maintenance in oxygen. On delignified wood, most of the fungi grew equally rapidly in air and oxygen. Apparently, the growth of these fungi in wood in air is limited by the rate of lignin degradation.

Genetics provides an approach to the analysis of the complex function of lignin biodegradation, through the isolation of mutants and the creation of gene libraries for the identification of genes and their products. However, white-rot fungi (for example, Phanerochaete chrysosporium ) have not so far been analysed from this point of view, and there is the challenge of establishing such genetics. P. chrysosporium is convenient experimentally because relatively few genes are switched on at the onset of ligninolytic activity. We describe the isolation of clones carrying genes expressed specifically in the ligninolytic phase, the development of a general strategy for mapping such clones, and the elucidation of the mating system of this organism. Another objective is the development of methods for transforming DNA into P. chrysosporium . This would allow the use of site-directed mutagenesis to analyse the functioning of ligninases, and the control of expression of the corresponding genes. The use of genetic crosses for strain improvement and the identification of components of the system are also discussed.

Phanerochaete chrysosporium , Pycnoporus cinnabarinus ,and fungal isolates RCK-1 and RCK-3 were tested for their lignin degradation abilities when grown on wheat straw (WS) and Prosopis juliflora (PJ) under solid-state cultivation conditions. Fungal isolate RCK-1 degraded more lignin in WS (12.26% and 22.64%) and PJ (19.30% and 21.97%) and less holocellulose in WS (6.27% and 9.39%) and PJ (3.01% and 4.58%) after 10 and 20 days, respectively, than other fungi tested. Phanerochaete chrysosporium caused higher substrate mass loss and degraded more of holocellulosic content (WS: 55.67%; PJ: 48.89%) than lignin (WS: 18.89%; PJ: 20.20%) after 20 days. The fungal pretreatment of WS and PJ with a high-lignin-degrading and low-holocellulose-degrading fungus (fungal isolate RCK-1) for 10 days resulted in (i) reduction in acid load for hydrolysis of structural polysaccharides (from 3.5% to 2.5% in WS and from 4.5% to 2.5% in PJ), (ii) an increase in the release of fermentable sugars (from 30.27 to 40.82 g·L–1in WS and from 18.18 to 26.00 g·L–1in PJ), and (iii) a reduction in fermentation inhibitors (total phenolics) in acid hydrolysate of WS (from 1.31 to 0.63 g·L–1) and PJ (from 2.05 to 0.80 g·L–1). Ethanol yield and volumetric productivity from RCK-1-treated WS (0.48 g·g–1and 0.54 g·L–1·h–1, respectively) and PJ (0.46 g·g–1and 0.33 g·L–1·h–1, respectively) were higher than untreated WS (0.36 g·g–1and 0.30 g·L–1·h–1, respectively) and untreated PJ (0.42 g·g–1and 0.21 g·L–1·h–1, respectively).

ABSTRACT A simple strategy for the induction of extracellular hydroxyl radical (OH) production by white-rot fungi is presented. It involves the incubation of mycelium with quinones and Fe3+-EDTA. Succinctly, it is based on the establishment of a quinone redox cycle catalyzed by cell-bound dehydrogenase activities and the ligninolytic enzymes (laccase and peroxidases). The semiquinone intermediate produced by the ligninolytic enzymes drives OH production by a Fenton reaction (H2O2 + Fe2+ → OH + OH− + Fe3+). H2O2 production, Fe3+ reduction, and OH generation were initially demonstrated with two Pleurotus eryngii mycelia (one producing laccase and versatile peroxidase and the other producing just laccase) and four quinones, 1,4-benzoquinone (BQ), 2-methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (MBQ), 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (DBQ), and 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (menadione [MD]). In all cases, OH radicals were linearly produced, with the highest rate obtained with MD, followed by DBQ, MBQ, and BQ. These rates correlated with both H2O2 levels and Fe3+ reduction rates observed with the four quinones. Between the two P. eryngii mycelia used, the best results were obtained with the one producing only laccase, showing higher OH production rates with added purified enzyme. The strategy was then validated in Bjerkandera adusta, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Phlebia radiata, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, and Trametes versicolor, also showing good correlation between OH production rates and the kinds and levels of the ligninolytic enzymes expressed by these fungi. We propose this strategy as a useful tool to study the effects of OH radicals on lignin and organopollutant degradation, as well as to improve the bioremediation potential of white-rot fungi.

Manganese peroxidases (MnP) from the white-rot fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium catalyse the oxidation of Mn2+ to Mn3+, a strong oxidizer able to oxidize a wide variety of organic compounds. Different approaches have been used to unravel the enzymatic properties and potential applications of MnP. However, these efforts have been hampered by the limited production of native MnP by fungi. Heterologous expression of MnP has been achieved in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic expression systems, although with limited production and many disadvantages in the process. Here we described a novel molecular approach for the expression and purification of manganese peroxidase isoform 1 (MnP1) from P. chrysosporium using an E. coli-expression system. The proposed strategy involved the codon optimization and chemical synthesis of the MnP1 gene for optimised expression in the E. coli T7 shuffle host. Recombinant MnP1 (rMnP1) was expressed as a fusion protein, which was recovered from solubilised inclusion bodies. rMnP1 was purified from the fusion protein using intein-based protein purification techniques and a one-step affinity chromatography. The designated strategy allowed production of an active enzyme able to oxidize guaiacol or Mn2+.
