Wood-rotting basidiomycetous fungi are the most efficient degraders of lignin on earth. The white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium has been used as a model microorganism in the study of enzymology and its application. Because of the ability of the white-rot fungus to degrade lignin, which has an irregular structure and large molecular mass, this fungus has also been studied in relation to degrading and mineralizing many environmental pollutants. The fungus includes an array of enzymes, such as lignin peroxidase (LiP), manganese-dependent peroxidase (MnP), cellobiose:quinone oxidoreductase, and $H_2O_2$-producing enzymes and also produces many other components of the ligninolytic system, such as veratryl alcohol (VA) and oxalate. In addition, the fungus has mechanisms for the reduction of degradation intermediates. The ligninolytic systems have been proved to provide reductive reactions as well as oxidative reactions, both of which are essential for the degradation of lignin and organopollutants. Further study on the white-rot fungus may provide many tools to both utilize lignin, the most abundant aromatic polymer, and bioremediate many recalcitrant organopollutants.

To evaluate effects of ligninolytic enzyme type on the mycelial response and ligninolytic enzyme production during interspecific interactions among wood-rotting fungi, 4 fungal strains, Trichophyton rubrum LKY-7, Trichophyton rubrum LSK-27, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, and Trichoderma viride, were selected. Regarding ligninolytic enzyme production, LKY-7 secreted laccase and manganese peroxidase (MnP), P. cinnabarinus secreted only laccase, and LSK-27 secreted only MnP in glucose-peptone medium, while T. viride did not produce any ligninolytic enzymes. In the co-culture of LKY-7 with P. cinnabarinus, the formation of aerial mycelium was observed and the enhancement of laccase activity owing to interspecific interaction appeared to be very low. In the co-culture of LKY-7 and P. cinnabarinus with LSK-27, a hypha-free clear zone was observed, which resulted in deadlock, and increased laccase or MnP activity was detected at the interaction zone. The interaction responses of LKY-7, P. cinnabarinus, and LSK-27 with T. viride were characterized by the formation of mycelial barrages along the interface. As mycelial barrages were observed at the T. viride territory and no brownish pigment was observed in the mycelial barrages, it is suggested that laccase and MnP are released as part of an offensive response, not as a defensive response. The co-culture of P. cinnabarinus with T. viride lead to the highest enhancement in laccase activity, yielding more than 14-fold increase in laccase activity with respect to the mono-culture of P. cinnabarinus. MnP activities secreted by LKY-7 or LSK-27 was generally low in interspecific interactions.

We examined the activities of lignin-degrading enzymes of the mycelium of cauliflower mushroom (Sparassis latifolia). Three different strains of S. latifolia collected from several sites in Korea and one crossbred strain were cultured on potato dextrose broth (PDB) and Kirk's medium in order to study the activities of their ligninolytic enzymes. Mycelial growth reached maximum levels between 14 and 21 days after inoculation and pH increased by 0.12 units over 35 days. Laccase activity began increasing after 14 days on both types of media. Manganese peroxidase (MnP) activity followed a trend similar to that of laccase on Kirk's medium, but not on PDB. The activity of lignin peroxidase (LiP) differed from that of other enzymes; its activity decreased by half after 14 days on PDB but remained constant on Kirk's medium over 35 days. The total protein concentration increased considerably after 14 days and peaked at 21 days on PDB. A similar maximum was attained on Kirk's medium. In contrast, the residual glucose increased rapidly at 14 days on Kirk's medium, while increasing gradually up to 28 days on PDB. This study indicates that S. latifolia is more similar to white rot fungi than to other brown rot fungi.

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.

This paper gives an overview of the availability, nutritive quality, and possible strategies to improve the utilization of rice straw as a feed ingredient for ruminants. Approximately 80% of the rice in the world is grown by small-scale farmers in developing countries, including South East Asia. The large amount of rice straw as a by-product of the rice production is mainly used as a source of feed for ruminant livestock. Rice straw is rich in polysaccharides and has a high lignin and silica content, limiting voluntary intake and reducing degradability by ruminal microorganisms. Several methods to improve the utilization of rice straw by ruminants have been investigated in the past. However, some physical treatments are not practical because of the requirement for machinery or treatments are not economical feasible for the farmers. Chemical treatments, such as NaOH, $NH_3$ or urea, currently seem to be more practical for onfarm use. Alternative treatments to improve the nutritive value of rice straw are the use of ligninolytic fungi (white-rot fungi), with their extracellular ligninolytic enzymes, or specific enzymes degrading cellulose and/or hemicellulose. The use of fungi or enzyme treatments is expected to be a more practical and environmental-friendly approach for enhancing the nutritive value of rice straw and can be costeffective in the future. Using fungi and enzymes might be combined with the more classical chemical or physical treatments. However, available data on using fungi and enzymes for improving the quality of rice straw are relatively scarce.

본 연구에서는 백색부후균의 리그닌 분해 효소 시스템을 이용하여, 다양한 균주 중에서 목질계 바이오매스 유기용매 전처리 과정에서 발생한 리그닌(유기용매 리그닌)의 생분해에 적합한 우수 균주를 선별하고자 하였다. 우선 분양받은 15개의 백색부후균을 대상으로 shallow stationary cultur (SSC)배지와 malt extract broth (MEB)배지에 유기용매 리그닌의 첨가에 따른 Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR)의 흡광도 변화를 측정하였다. RBBR 탈색능 결과, SSC 배지에서 Ceriporiopsis subvermispora, Ceriporia lacerate, Fomitopsis insularis, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Polyporus brumalis, Stereum hirsutum 등 6종의 백색부후균에서 급격한 흡광도 변화를 나타냈다. 배양 초기에 급격한 흡광도 변화를 나타낸 6개의 백색부후균을 대상으로 균체 외 단백질 농도 및 리그닌 분해 효소 활성을 측정하였다. 선발된 6개의 균 중에서 S. hirsutum과 P. chrysosporium은 유기용매 리그닌을 첨가한 실험구에서 높은 단백질 농도가 측정되었다. 반면, 리그닌 분해 효소 활성은 F. insularis에서 배양 6일째에 manganese peroxidase (MnP) 활성이 1,545 U/mg, laccase 활성은 1,259 U/mg으로 최고 활성을 나타냈다. 결론적으로, 균체 외 단백질 농도 및 리그닌 분해 효소 활성이 전반적으로 높았던 $STH^*$와 MnP 및 laccase의 활성이 가장 높은 FOI가 유기용매 리그닌 생분해에 유리하게 작용할 것으로 판단된다.

The roles of lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, and laccase were inverstigated in the biodegration of pentachlorphenol (PCP) by several which rot fungi. The disappearance of pentachlorophenol from cultures of wild type strains, P. chrysosporium, Trametes sp. and of pentachlorophenol from cultures of wild type strains, P. cheysocporium, Trametes sp. and Pleurotus ap., was observed. The activities of mangnese peroxidase and laccase was detected in Trametes sp. and pleurotus sp. cultures. However, the activities showed that PCP was degraded under ligninolytic as well as nonligninoytic condicationg that lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, and laccase are not essential in the biodegradation of PCP by white rot fungi.

Effects of exogenous veratryl alcohol addition on the growth of basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium ME-446 and the induction of lignin peroxidase activity were investigated in this study. The organism was grown in ligninolytic (low-nitrogen) culture conditions in which extracellular enzymes are produced. Analyses showed that a statistically significant decrease of cell growth was associated with the veratryl alcohol addition. The effect of veratryl alcohol addition on LiP activity was nearly instantaneous and this effect diminished with culture aging. The extent of this effect was different depending on the time of addition, which led to a speculation that there might be some other effector species which played a role in regulation of lignin peroxidase activity.

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.
