AbstractBioconversion of lignocellulosic materials into ethanol requires an intermediate pretreatment step for conditioning biomass. Sugar yields from wheat straw were previously improved by the addition of a mild alkali pretreatment step before bioconversion by the white-rot fungus Irpex lacteus. In this work, an alternative alkaline treatment, which significantly reduces water consumption, was implemented and optimized. Sugar recovery increased 117% with respect to the previously developed alkaline wash process at optimal process conditions (30°C, 30 minutes and 35.7% (w/w) of NaOH). In order to further reduce operational costs, a system for alkali recycling was implemented. This resulted in the treatment of 150% more wheat straw using the same amount of NaOH. Finally, enzymatic hydrolysis was optimized and resulted in a reduction of enzyme dose of 33%.

AbstractWood-degrading fungi commonly grow in contact with calcium (Ca)-containing building materials and may import Ca and iron (Fe) from soil into forest woody debris. For brown rot fungi, imported Ca2+may neutralize oxalate, while Fe3+may facilitate Fenton-based degradation mechanisms. We previously demonstrated, in two independent trials, that degradation of spruce by wood-degrading fungi was not promoted when Ca or Fe were imported from gypsum or metallic Fe, respectively. Here, we tested pine wood with lower endogenous Ca than the spruce blocks used in prior experiments, and included a pure gypsum treatment and one amended with 1% with FeSO4. Electron microscopy with microanalysis verified that brown rot fungiSerpula himantioidesandGloeophyllum trabeumand the white rot fungusIrpex lacteusgrew on gypsum and produced iron-free Ca-oxalate crystals away from the gypsum surface. Wood cation analysis verified significant Fe import by both brown rot isolates in Fe-containing treatments. Wood degradation was highest in Fe-gypsum-containing treatments for all three fungi, although only wood degraded byI. lacteushad significant Ca import. We suggest that Fe impurities may not exacerbate brown rot, and that both brown and white rot fungi may utilize Ca-containing materials.

Phenol is a major contaminant in the industrial water effluent, including pharmaceutical wastewaters. Although several physic-chemical methods for removal of phenol exist, they are of high cost, low efficiency, and generate toxic by-products. Thus, there is a need to develop technologies for biological removal of phenol from wastewater. In this study, the degradation of phenol in pharmaceutical wastewater by monoculture of white-rot fungi was studied. The degradation rate of total phenol in batch flasks by four fungal monocultures of Trametes versicolor, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Gloeophyllum trabeum and Irpex lacteus in synthetic medium was compared. The results showed that white-rot fungus T.Versicolor was the most effective of the species. Further selection tests of optimal conditions of biomass concentration, pH and temperature were done, indicating that optimal conditions of degradation are at pH 5-6, temperature 25 °C, and biomass inoculum 10% (v/v). Under optimal conditions, total phenol was reduced by 93%, concentration of total phenol decreasing from 420±12 mg/l to 29±1 mg/l in seven days, with T.Versicolor specie. This study suggested that biological treatment with fungi may effectively be used as a pre-treatment stage for removal of phenol before polishing wastewater with conventional biological methods.

The enhanced xylanase production of white rot fungus Irpex lacteus BAFC 1168 strain F using a liquid fermentation culture was investigated. The media nutrients were screened by a Plackett-Burman design and from the analysis of variance, carboxy-methylcellulose, urea and peptone were found to be the most positive and significant nutrient components. Hence, these three variables were selected for further optimization using a five-level central composite design in response surface methodology. The validation of the model experiment was conducted reaching 8.29 U/mL of xylanase activity when the composition medium was 1.6 g/L of CMC, 0.84 g/L of urea and 2 g/L of peptone. Optimum temperature and pH conditions on xylanase activity were also determined using a central composite design. It was reached a maximum xylanase activity of 8.36 U/mL when temperature and pH were 42.8°C and 5.6, respectively.

The anti-fungal activities of four self-prepared rosinyl quaternary ammonium salts (QAS), QASA, BQAS1, BQAS2 and DQAS, were evaluated with paper disc method in this paper. The result showed that, all the QAS of rosin were bioactive to the selected fungi, Irpex lacteus, Trametes versicolor, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Gloeophyllum trabeum, Chaetomium globosum, and Paecilomyces variotii. There were obvious inhibition halos for all QAS to the fungi. The result proved that the QAS of rosin were broad-spectrum anti-fungal. Especially, to white rot fungus Trametes versicolor, brown rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum and soft rot fungus Chaetomium globosum, they were more effective. When the concentration reached 3.2% (w/w), the inhibition halo diameters all met or exceeded 25mm. Among these four anti-fungal derivatives of rosin, the Gemini QAS (BQAS1 and BQAS2) had bigger inhibition halo diameters than the others, which indicated that the Gemini QAS of rosin were more anti-fungal than the normal QAS of rosin.
