Abstract Background As one of the major components of lignocellulosic biomass, lignin has been considered as the most abundant renewable aromatic feedstock in the world. Comparing with thermal or catalytic strategies for lignin degradation, biological conversion is a promising approach featuring with mild conditions and diversity, and has received great attention nowadays. Results In this study, a consortium of white rot fungi composed of Lenzites betulina and Trametes versicolor was employed to enhance the ligninolytic enzyme activity of laccase (Lac) and manganese peroxidase (MnP) under microbial synergism. The maximum enzymatic activity of Lac and MnP was individually 18.06 U mL−1 and 13.58 U mL−1 along with a lignin degradation rate of 50% (wt/wt), which were achieved from batch cultivation of the consortium. The activities of Lac and MnP obtained from the consortium were both improved more than 40%, as compared with monocultures of L. betulina or T. versicolor under the same culture condition. The enhanced biodegradation performance was in accordance with the results observed from scanning electron microscope (SEM) of lignin samples before and after biodegradation, and secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). Finally, the analysis of heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) NMR and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) provided a comprehensive product mapping of the lignin biodegradation, suggesting that the lignin has undergone depolymerization of the macromolecules, side-chain cleavage, and aromatic ring-opening reactions. Conclusions Our results revealed a considerable escalation on the enzymatic activity obtained in a short period from the cultivation of the L. betulina or T. versicolor due to the enhanced microbial synergistic effects, providing a potential bioconversion route for lignin utilization.

Featuring with mild conditions and diversity, biological degradation of lignin is a promising approach comparing with thermal or catalytic ones. Results : In this study, a consortium of white rot fungi composed of Lenzites betulina and Trametes versicolor was employed in order to enhance the ligninolytic enzyme activity of laccase (Lac) and manganese peroxidase (MnP) under microbial synergism. The maximum enzymatic activity of Lac and MnP was individually 18.06 U·mL-1 and 13.58 U·mL-1 along with a lignin degradation rate of 50%, which were achieved from batch cultivation of the consortium. The activity of Lac and MnP obtained from the consortium was all improved more than 40%, compared with monocultures of L. betulina or T. versicolor under the same culture condition. Our findings of enhanced biodegradation were in accordance with the results observed from scanning electron microscope (SEM) and secondary-ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). Finally, the analysis of heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) NMR and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) provided a comprehensive product mapping of the lignin biodegradation, suggesting that the lignin has undergone depolymerization of the macromolecules, side-chain cleavage, and aromatic ring-opening reactions.

Mycelium Growth

A synergistic effect was found between the electro-Fenton (E-Fenton) process and a white-rot enzyme (Trametes versicolor) system relative to the degradation of dealkaline lignin. The hydrogen peroxide produced by the E-Fenton process reacted with Fe2+ on the cathode to generate a large number of hydroxyl radicals. These hydroxyl radicals directly degraded various functional groups in lignin, which led to the quick initiation of lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP) enzymatic hydrolysis and accelerated the progress of lignin biodegradation. In addition, the hydroxyl radicals produced by the Fenton reaction converted nonphenolic lignin into phenolic lignin, further promoting the ability of manganese peroxidase and laccase to degrade the lignin. Additionally, the Fe3+ secreted by white-rot fungi accelerated the regeneration of Fe2+ on the composite cathode, which sustained the lignin degradation system. In the synergistic system, mycelium growth was significantly improved, with the maximum growth amount reaching 2.3 g and the lignin degradation rate reaching 84.5%, the activity of the three enzymes increased with the increase of currents over 96 h. Among them, the activity of MnP increased significantly to 402 U/L.

The mechanism of lignin degradation via white rot fungi was studied. Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Pleurotus ostreatus were used for all the experiments, i.e., measuring the concentration and structure of alkali lignins and studying the effect of the substrate concentration and enzyme activity on the removal. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was performed on the reaction liquid of the lignin degradation enzyme system. Alkali lignin had a characteristic absorption spectrum with a peak at approximately 280 nm. Precipitation in the laccase (Lac) degradation system occurred earlier, as well as being more obvious than that in the manganese peroxidase (Mnp) degradation system. The maximum removal was 29.4% in the Mnp degradation system at a concentration of 40 mg/L. The removal increased in a concentration-dependent manner in the Lac degradation system. The increase in Mnp and Lac enzyme activity led to an increased alkali lignin removal. The removal of the control group was significantly lower than the experimental degradation systems. The degradation mainly produced organic acids, esters, and aromatic substances. In conclusion, white rot fungi could effectively remove alkali lignin, in which precipitation played a major role, followed by enzymolysis; the enzymolysis was associated with the alkali lignin concentration and enzyme activity.

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.

The white rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus was grown in a chemically defined solid state fermentation system amended with cotton stalk extract (CSE).Treated cultures exhibited increased laccase activity as well as enhanced lignin mineralization. Mineralization of [14C]lignin initialized 4 days earlier in CSE-supplemented cultures than in control cultures. Total mineralization in the first 16 days was 15% in the CSE-treated cultures, compared with only 7% in the controls. Cotton stalk extract also contained compounds that serve as substrates for laccase purified from P. ostreatus as shown by oxygen consumption, as well as changes in the UV–visible spectrum.Key words: cotton, Pleurotusostreatus, white rot, laccase, lignin biodegradation.

Abstract The aim of the study was comparative analysis of degradation of wheat straw lignin by white-rot fungi and its implications on the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis of holocellulose. Cyclocybe cylindracea, Ganoderma resinaceum, Irpex lacteus, Pleurotus ostreatus and Trametes versicolor were the species studied. Peroxidases were predominantly responsible for lignin degradation even though high laccase activities were detected, except in the case of Irpex lacteus where laccase activity was not detected. Studied fungal species showed various ability to degrade lignin in wheat straw which further affected release of reducing sugars during enzymatic saccharification. The highest rate of lignin degradation was noticed in sample pretreated with Irpex lacteus (50.9 ± 4.1%). Among all tested species only Ganoderma resinaceum was suitable lignin degrader with the 2-fold higher hydrolysis yield (51.1 ± 4.7%) than in the control, and could have significant biotechnological application due to lower cellulose loss. A key mechanism of carbohydrate component convertibility enhancement was lignin removal in the biomass. Long time consumption, the low sugar yields and unpredictable fungal response still remain the challenge of the fungal pretreatment process.

Abstract Background Lignocellulosic biomass is an organic matrix composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. In nature, lignin degradation by basidiomycetes is the key step in lignocellulose decay. The white-rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 (YK-624) has been extensively studied due to its high lignin degradation ability. In our previous study, it was demonstrated that YK-624 can secrete lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase for lignin degradation. However, the underlying mechanism for lignin degradation by YK-624 remains unknown.Results Here, we analyzed YK-624 gene expression following growth under ligninolytic and nonligninolytic conditions and compared the differentially expressed genes in YK-624 to those in the model white-rot fungus P. chrysosporium by next-generation sequencing. More ligninolytic enzymes and lignin-degrading auxiliary enzymes were upregulated in YK-624. This might explain the high degradation efficiency of YK-624. In addition, the genes involved in energy metabolism pathways, such as the TCA cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, lipid metabolism, carbon metabolism and glycolysis, were upregulated under ligninolytic conditions in YK-624.Conclusions In the present study, the first differential gene expression analysis of YK-624 under ligninolytic and nonligninolytic conditions was reported. The results obtained in this study indicated that YK-624 produces more energy- and lignin-degrading enzymes for more efficient lignin biodegradation.
