Cometabolism technology was employed to degrade lignin wastewater in Sequencing Batch Biofilm Reactor. Cometabolic system (with glucose and lignin in inflow) and the control group (only lignin in inflow) were established to do a comparative study. In contrast with the control group, the average removal rates of lignin increased by 14.7% and total oarganic carbon increased by 32% in the cometabolic system with glucose as growth substrate, under the condition of 5 mg/L DO, $0.2kgCOD/(m^3{\cdot}d)$ lignin and glucose $1.0kgCOD/(m^3{\cdot}d)$. Functional groups of lignin are degraded effectively in cometabolic system proved by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer, and the degradation products were amides (mainly including acetamide, N-ethylacetamide and N, N-diethylacetamide), alcohols (mainly including glycerol and ethylene glycol) and acids. Meanwhile, results of Polymerase Chain Reaction-Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis showed great differences in microbial population richness between cometabolic system and the control group. The Margalef's richness index and Shannon-Wiener's diversity index of microorganism in cometabolic system were 3.075 and 2.61, respectively. The results showed that extra addition of glucose, with a concentration of 943 mg/L, was beneficial to lignin biodegradation in cometabolic system.

The white rot fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium(IFO 31249) Trametes sp and Pleurotus sp. were studied for their ability to degrade Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons(PAHs) using anthracene and pyrene as model compounds. The disapperarance anthracene and pyrene of from cultures of wild type strains. P chrysosporium Trametes sp. and Pleurotus sp was observed However the activities of ligninolytic enzymes were not detected in P chrysosporium cultures during degradation while ligninolytic enzymes were detected in both culture of Trametes sp. and Pleurotus sp. Therefore our results showed that PAHs was degraded under ligninolytic as well as nonligninolytic conditions. The results also indicate that lignin peroxidase(LiP) mananese peroxidase(MnP) and laccase are not essential for the biodegradation of PAHs by white rot fungi.

Over the past several years, research efforts have been directed both at economically producing valuable substances from the wood biomass and at producing lignolytic enzymes at a lower cost. In the present study, we found that Phellinus igniarius, the basidiomycetes, secreted lignin peroxidase as a main lignolytic enzyme, which was detected maximum activity at 16th day of culture and showed 37 kDa of molecular mass in identification by activity assay and purification by anion-exchange chromatography. The Phellinus igniarius-derived lignin peroxidase hydrolyzed steam-exploded wood (Quercus mongolica) powder into small molecules showing cytotoxicity against cancer cel1s (HepG2 hepatoma, SK-N-SH neuroblastoma, B16 melanoma, MBT-2 bladder cancer). In addition, the enzyme hydrlysates of lignins (ELg) that were extracted from the steam-exploded oak showed more potent cytotoxic effects on the cancer cells than the enzyme hydrolysates of wood biomass (EWp), indicating that the cytotoxic effect of EWp may be due to the enzyme-degraded products of lignin among the lignocellulosics. Furthermore, the cytotoxic effect of ELg on Chang, normal liver cells, was much less potent than that of ELg on HepG2 and B16 cancer cells, indicating that the cytotoxic effect of ELg may be specific for cancer cells. The present results suggest that Phellinus igniarius may be a useful resource for the large-scale production of lignin peroxidase and that the lignin peroxidase may be applied for the generation of valuable biodegradation products from wood lignocellulosics for medical use.

Abstract The removal percentage (94%) of 100 ppm of pyrene in a shaken culture of white rot fungus, Irpex lacteus, was much higher than that in a static culture (37.9%). Over 90% of the pyrene disappeared with I. lacteus grown at $15-27^{\circ}C$, yet less than 50% was removed at $37^{\circ}C$. The transformation rates of pyrene ($4.5-5.0{\;}\mu\textrm{g}/ml/day$) were not very different among cultures with 5- 30% inoculum sizes, and over 90% of the 100 ppm pyrene was removed in every case during 20 days of incubation. The biodegradation of pyrene by I. lacteus was confirmed by measuring the $CO_2$ evolved from the mineralization of the added pyrene. The activity of lignin peroxidase (LiP), which is known to be involved in the biodegradation by white rot fungi, was high between 8 to 12 days of incubation. Although manganese peroxidase activity was demonstrated during the same period as LiP, its activity was quite low, and no laccase activity was detected. Even though the activity patterns of ligninolytic enzymes did not coincide with the pyrene removal, this study shows that I. lacteus has a high biodegrading capability and can be a candidate for the bioremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants.inants.

In order to evaluate the biodegradability and mechanism of 4,5,6-trichloroguaiacol (TCG) produced from bleaching process in pulp mill by Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Trametes versicolor, and Inonotus cuticularis, changes in TCG and its metabolites during biodegradation were analyzed by HPLC, and GC/MS spectrometry. By three fungi, the maximum biodegradability against TCG were very quickly reached, compared with other chlorinated aromatic compounds such as PCP. Within 24 hrs, T versicolor indicated up to 95% of TCG removal rate, and P. chrysosporium and I. cuticularis also showed more than 80%, and 90%, respectively. Particularly, in case of T. versicolor, the removal rate of TCG after 1 hr. incubation was reached to approximately 90%, implying very rapid metabolization of TCG. However, by analyzing the filtrates extracted from TCG containing culture by GC/MS, the major metabolites at initial stage of biodegradation were dimers, indicating that the added TCG monomers were quickly polymerized. The others were trichloroveratrole, dichloroguaiacol, and trichlorobenzoic acid, suggesting that TCG may be biodegraded by several sequential reactions such as polymerization, oxidation, methylation, dechlorination, and hydroxylation. In other experiments, the extracellular fluid which did not contain any fungal mycelia was used to evaluate the effect of mycelia on TCG biodegradation. The extracellular fluid of T. versicolor also biodegraded TCG up to 90% within 24hrs, but those of P. chrysosporium and I. cuticularis did not show any good biodegradability. T versicolor showed the highest value of laccase, and other two fungi indicated a little activity of lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP). In addition, the laccase activity of T. versicolor was very linearly proportional to the removal rate of TCG during incubation, in other words, showing the induction effect against TCG. Consequently, the biodegradation of TCG was very dependent upon the activity of laccase.

리그닌 분해기작을 연구하기 위한 일환으로 느타리버섯균(Pleurotus ostreatus) 3종류와 구름버섯균(Poly-porus versicolor)의 리그닌 분해능을 Simple plate test방법으로 비교한 결과 느타리버섯균주 3과 구름버섯균이 가장 큰 clear zone을 나타냈다. 리그닌의 탈중합화 정도를 조사하기 위해서 리그닌배지에 여러가지 탄수화물들을 첨가하여 배양한 후 컬럼크로마토그라피를 해본 결과 4균주 중 느타리균주 2와 3이 첨가된 탄수화물에 대한 탈중합화 효과가 컸고 탄수화물별로는 glucose. cellobiose 및 xylose를 첨가한 경우가 탈중합화 정도가 컸다. 같은 배양액을 UV scanning시 나타나는 파장 280 nm에서의 peak 높이를 비교해 보면 느타리 균주 2가 glucose, cellobiose 그리고 hemicellulose계 탄수화물인 xylose를 첨가한 배지에서 peak가 나타나지 않았고 배양액의 색깔을 보면 리그닌만 넣고 배양한 경우는 갈변현상을 나타냈는데 반해 탄수화물을 첨가한 경우 특히 glucose, cellobiose 및 xylose는 탈색이 심하게 일어났다. 이상의 결과에서 볼 때 리그닌 분해시에 보조기질로 다른 탄수화물을 첨가하면 리그닌의 탈중합화와 갈변현상이 감소되며 리그닌분해정도가 향상된다는 것을 알 수 있다.

The process of biodegradation in lingo-cellulosic materials is critically relevant to biospheric carbon. The study of this natural process has largely involved laboratory investigations, focused primarily on the biodegradation and recycling of agricultural by-products, generally using basidiomycetes species. In order to collect super white rot fungi and evaluate its ability to degrade lingo-cellulosic material, 35 fungal strains, collected from forests, humus soil, livestock manure, and dead trees, were screened for enzyme activities and their potential to decolorize the commercially used Poly-R 478 dye. In the laccase enzymatic analysis chemical test, 33 white rot fungi and 2 brown rot fungi were identified. The degradation ability of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) according to the utilized environmental conditions was higher in the mushrooms grown in dead trees and fallen leaves than in the mushrooms grown in humus soil and livestock manure. Using Poly-R 478 dye to assess the PAH-degradation activity of the identified strains, four strains, including Agrocybe pediades, were selected. The activities of laccase, MnP, and Lip of the four strains with PAH-degrading ability were highest in Pleurotus incarnates. 87 fungal strains, collected from forests, humus soil, livestock manure, and dead trees, were screened for enzyme activities and their potential to decolorize the commercially used Poly-R 478 dye on solid media. Using Poly-R 478 dye to assess the PAHdegrading activity of the identified strains, it was determined that MKACC 51632 and 52492 strains evidenced superior activity in static and shaken liquid cultures. Subsequent screening on plates containing the polymeric dye poly R-478, the decolorization of which is correlated with lignin degradation, resulted in the selection of a strain of Coriolus versicolor, MKACC52492, for further study, primarily due to its rapid growth rate and profound ability to decolorize poly R-478 on solid media. Considering our findings using Poly-R 478 dye to evaluate the PAH-degrading activity of the identified strains, Coriolus versicolor, MKACC 52492 was selected as a favorable strain. Coriolus versicolor, which was collected from Mt. Yeogi in Suwon, was studied for the production of the lignin-modifying enzymes laccase, manganese-dependent peroxidase (MnP), and lignin peroxidase (LiP).

양송이의 국내 생산량은 9,732톤으로 5번째로 가장 많이 생산되는 버섯이다. 양송이가 속한 주름버섯속은 리그노셀룰로오스 분해력을 가진 버섯으로 알려져 있다. 양송이의 영양생장과 생식생장동안 기본적으로 셀룰로오스, 해미셀룰로오스, 리그닌 성분의 분해는 변화한다. 우리는 양송이에서 celluase, xylanase, ligninolytic enzyme의 세포외효소 활성도로 효과적인 생물학적 분해력을 가진 균주를 선발하였다. 각 효소의 생물학적 분해는 0.5% CMC-MMP ((malt-mops-peptone), 0.5% Xylan-MMP, 0.5% ligin-MMP 배지에서 14일 동안 균주들을 배양하여 측정하였다. 그리고 배양된 균사체는 0.2% trypan blue에 염색되었다. MMP배지내 각 효소의 생물학적 분해의 효율성에 따라 선발된 균주 18점은 6개로 그룹화되었다. 또한 이 균주들은 볏짚발효퇴비배지에서의 균사생장과 세포외효소 활성도의 연관성을 알아보기 위해 볏짚발효퇴비배지에서 10일, 20일 각각 배양되었다. 본 연구로 ligninolytic enzyme 활성도가 볏짚발효퇴비배지에서의 균사배양과 상관도가 가장 높아 균주내 ligninolytic enzyme의 활성도 비교로 볏짚발효퇴비배지에서 균사배양이 우수한 균주를 간단하게 선발 할 수 있다고 사료된다.

구름버섯(Trametes versicolor)은 phenolic compound인 CV와 MG를 효과적으로 탈색할 수 있었으며 고체와 액체배양 상태 모두에서 CV보다 MG를 더 효과적으로 탈색시켰다. 구름버섯에 의한 두 색소의 탈색 과정에서 phenolic compounds를 분해하는 것으로 알려진 세 가지 효소 중 laccase의 활성이 가장 높았다. MnP 역시 적은 수치지만 활성을 나타냈으며 LiP의 활성은 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 구름버섯에 의한 합성염료의 분해과정에서 laccase가 주로 사용되고 MnP는 탈색과정에서 보조적인 작용을 하는 것으로 추정된다. 그러나 CV의 경우 MnP가 활발하게 염료분해에 관여하는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 MG가 대부분 탈색되었을 때의 laccase 활성(0.16 U/mg)이 CV가 대부분 탈색되었을 때의 활성(0.23 U/mg)보다 현저하게 낮은 것으로 보아 구름버섯이 CV를 탈색시키는데 더 높은 활성의 laccase가 필요로 하는 것이 밝혀졌다. 본 실험에서 한국산 구름버섯 종의 CV와 MG 탈색능력이 확인되었으며 앞으로 한국산 구름버섯을 이용한 triphenyl methane계에 속하는 합성염료의 분해에 관한 친환경적 처리기술 개발에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.
