Silver stained polyacrylamide gels and fluorescence-based automated capillary electrophoresis for detection of amplified fragment length polymorphism patterns obtained from white-rot fungi in the genus Trametes

Silver stained denaturing polyacrylamide gels (PAGEs) and fluorescent denaturing automated capillary electrophoresis (CE) were used to detect amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) patterns obtained from white-rot fungi belonging to the genus Trametes. AFLP fingerprinting detected by the fluorescence-based method as well as by silver staining showed a high discriminatory power in differentiating nine strains of Trametes ochracea, nine strains of Trametes hirsuta and ten isolates of Trametes versicolor. UPGMA dendrograms derived from fluorescently labelled and silver stained AFLP patterns were similar, but a few differences were detected especially in the clustering of T. ochracea and T. hirsuta strains. Compared to silver-stained AFLP, detection of fluorescent AFLP was fast, reliable and easy to perform and it facilitated surveying with a computerized analysis system. Fluorescent CE seems to be well suited for studying similarity between Trametes species.     

Dibenzyl sulfide metabolism by white rot fungi

Microbial metabolism of organosulfur compounds is of interest in the petroleum industry for in-field viscosity reduction and desulfurization. Here, dibenzyl sulfide (DBS) metabolism in white rot fungi was studied. Trametes trogii UAMH 8156, Trametes hirsuta UAMH 8165, Phanerochaete chrysosporium ATCC 24725, Trametes versicolor IFO 30340 (formerly Coriolus sp.), and Tyromyces palustris IFO 30339 all oxidized DBS to dibenzyl sulfoxide prior to oxidation to dibenzyl sulfone. The cytochrome P-450 inhibitor 1-aminobenzotriazole eliminated dibenzyl sulfoxide oxidation. Laccase activity (0.15 U/ml) was detected in the Trametes cultures, and concentrated culture supernatant and pure laccase catalyzed DBS oxidation to dibenzyl sulfoxide more efficiently in the presence of 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) than in its absence. These data suggest that the first oxidation step is catalyzed by extracellular enzymes but that subsequent metabolism is cytochrome P-450 mediated.     

Fungal and enzymatic remediation of a wine lees and five wine-related distillery wastewaters

The aim of this work was to characterise wine-related wastewaters and ascertain the wastewater concentrations that were optimal for treatment by Trametes pubescens. Laccase production was also monitored. Crudely purified laccase was tested independently to determine its role in phenolic compounds degradation and colour change. The fungal treatment resulted in decreases in the wastewater chemical oxygen demand of up to 83+/-2.1%, phenolic compounds of 87+/-1.6% and colour of 88+/-4.7%. Although laccase treatment lowered total phenolics by up to 61+/-0.5%, the colour was increased by up to 160+/-5%, indicating the formation of colour-rich compounds. Trametes pubescens MB 89 greatly improved the quality of all six wastewaters tested, although two wastewaters had to be diluted to below 50% to allow for bioremediation by the submerged fungal culture. Laccase synthesis greater than 1500 U/l was obtained in all wastewaters, with a maximum of 8997 U/l. The complete fungal system was found to be superior to enzymatic treatment alone. Enzymatic treatment reduced the total phenols but did little to improve the colour of the wastewaters, and in the case of wine lees significantly increased the colour.     

Biodegradation of tetrabromobisphenol A by oxidases in basidiomycetous fungi and estrogenic activity of the biotransformation products

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) degradation was investigated using white rot fungi and their oxidative enzymes. Strains of the Trametes, Pleurotus, Bjerkandera and Dichomitus genera eliminated almost 1 mM TBBPA within 4 days. Laccase, whose role in TBBPA degradation was demonstrated in fungal cultures, was applied to TBBPA degradation alone and in combination with cellobiose dehydrogenase from Sclerotium rolfsii. Purified laccase from Trametes versicolor degraded approximately 2 mM TBBPA within 5 h, while the addition of cellobiose dehydrogenase increased the degradation rate to almost 2.5 mM within 3 h. Laccase was used to prepare TBBPA metabolites 2,6-dibromo-4-(2-hydroxypropane-2-yl) phenol (1), 2,6-dibromo-4-(2-methoxypropane-2-yl) phenol (2) and 1-(3,5-dibromo-4-hydroxyphen-1-yl)-2,2',6,6'-tetrabromo-4,4'-isopropylidene diphenol (3). As compounds 1 and 3 were identical to the TBBPA metabolites prepared by using rat and human liver fractions (Zalko et al., 2006), laccase can provide a simple means of preparing these metabolites for toxicity studies. Products 1 and 2 exhibited estrogenic effects, unlike TBBPA, but lower cell toxicity.     

Biodecolorization screening of synthetic dyes by four white-rot fungi in a solid medium: possible role of siderophores

AIMS: Four selected fungi were screened for their ability to decolourize a textile effluent and commercial reactive dyes in a solid medium. METHODS AND RESULTS: Ligninolytic enzymes activities (lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase and laccase) and siderophores presence were monitored in decolourized plates. RESULTS: The results showed low lignin peroxidase activity and no manganese peroxidase activity was detected for all fungi. Laccase activity was observed in Reactive Blue 19 decolourized plates by Trametes versicolor and Trametes villosa. Siderophores presence was observed in Trametes versicolor, Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Lentinus edodes decolourized plates. CONCLUSION: Lentinus edodes displayed the greatest decolourization ability both in terms of extent and rapidity of decolourization. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The transformation observed for dyes open the possibility to study siderophores to treat dyes and textile effluents.     

Enhanced production of laccase in Trametes vesicolor by the addition of ethanol

In a medium containing 40 g ethanol l^–1, laccase production by Trametes versicolor was 2.6 unit per ml of the supernatant, which was over 20 times higher than that without ethanol. Laccase activity with ethanol was quite comparable to that with the well-known inducers such as veratryl alcohol, xylidine and guaiacol. With other white-rot fungi, Coriolus hirsutus and Grifola frondosa, ethanol had a similar stimulatory effect on laccase production.     

Enhanced decolourisation ability of laccase towards various synthetic dyes by an electrocatalysis technology

Laccase in culture filtrates of Trametes versicolor degraded a number of structurally different dyes by about 30% after 30 min though only 5% of Azure B was degraded in 1 h and Poly R-478 and fuchsin were not degraded at all even after 24 h. However, by using enzymatic electrocatalysis technology all dyes were decolourised in about 30 to 135 min.     

Changes in oxidative enzyme activity during interspecific mycelial interactions involving the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor

Interspecific fungal antagonism leads to biochemical changes in competing mycelia, including up-regulation of oxidative enzymes. Laccase, manganese peroxidase (MnP), manganese-repressed peroxidase (MRP) and lignin peroxidase (LiP) gene expression and enzyme activity were compared during agar interactions between Trametes versicolor and five other wood decay fungi resulting in a range of interaction outcomes from deadlock to replacement of one fungus by another. Increased laccase and Mn-oxidising activities were detected at all interaction zones, but there were few changes in activity in regions away from the interaction zone in T. versicolor mycelia compared to self-pairings. Whilst no LiP activity was detected in any pairing, low level LiP gene expression was detected. MnP activity was detected but not expression of MnP genes; instead, MRP could explain the observed activity. No relationship was found between extent of enzyme activity increase and interaction outcome. Similarities between patterns of gene expression and enzyme activity are discussed.
