Degradation of anthracene by selected white rot fungi

Abstract Approximately 60% of the originally supplied anthracene (AC) was degraded in ligninolytic stationary cultures of selected white rot fungi within 21 days. All the white rot fungi tested oxidized AC to anthraquinone (AQ). Unlike Phanerochaete chrysosporium and strain Px, with Pleurotus ostreatus, Coriolopsis polyzona and Trametes versicolor , AQ did not accumulate in the cultures, indicating that AQ was degraded further and its degradation did not appear to be a rate-limiting step. However, P. ostreatus and C. polyzona failed to degrade AQ in the absence of AC. P. ostreatus, T. versicolor and strain Px did not produce lignin peroxidase (ligninase) (LIP) under the test conditions but oxidized AC to AQ suggesting that white rot fungi produce enzyme(s) other than LIP capable of oxidizing compounds with high ionization potential like AC. Moreover, in the case of Ph. chrysosporium and C. polyzona , AC degradation started earlier than the production of LIP. Veratryl alcohol (VA) seemed to be playing a role in AC oxidation catalyzed by LIP in Ph. chrysosporium .     

Biodegradation of DDT [1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane] by the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium.

Extensive biodegradation of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) by the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium was demonstrated by disappearance and mineralization of [14C]DDT in nutrient nitrogen-deficient cultures. Mass balance studies demonstrated the formation of polar and water-soluble metabolites during degradation. Hexane-extractable metabolites identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry included 1,1,-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDD), 2,2,2-trichloro-1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethanol (dicofol), 2,2-dichloro-1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethanol (FW-152), and 4,4'-dichlorobenzophenone (DBP). DDD was the first metabolite observed; it appeared after 3 days of incubation and disappeared from culture upon continued incubation. This, as well as the fact that [14C]dicofol was mineralized, demonstrates that intermediates formed during DDT degradation are also metabolized. These results demonstrate that the pathway for DDT degradation in P. chrysosporium is clearly different from the major pathway proposed for microbial or environmental degradation of DDT. Like P. chrysosporium ME-446 and BKM-F-1767, the white rot fungi Pleurotus ostreatus, Phellinus weirii, and Polyporus versicolor also mineralized DDT.

Genome sequence of the lignocellulose degrading fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium strain RP78

White rot fungi efficiently degrade lignin, a complex aromatic polymer in wood that is among the most abundant natural materials on earth. These fungi use extracellular oxidative enzymes that are also able to transform related aromatic compounds found in explosive contaminants, pesticides and toxic waste. We have sequenced the 30-million base-pair genome of Phanerochaete chrysosporium strain RP78 using a whole genome shotgun approach. The P. chrysosporium genome reveals an impressive array of genes encoding secreted oxidases, peroxidases and hydrolytic enzymes that cooperate in wood decay. Analysis of the genome data will enhance our understanding of lignocellulose degradation, a pivotal process in the global carbon cycle, and provide a framework for further development of bioprocesses for biomass utilization, organopollutant degradation and fiber bleaching. This genome provides a high quality draft sequence of a basidiomycete, a major fungal phylum that includes important plant and animal pathogens.     

Differences in crystalline cellulose modification due to degradation by brown and white rot fungi

Wood-decaying basidiomycetes are some of the most effective bioconverters of lignocellulose in nature, however the way they alter wood crystalline cellulose on a molecular level is still not well understood. To address this, we examined and compared changes in wood undergoing decay by two species of brown rot fungi, Gloeophyllum trabeum and Meruliporia incrassata, and two species of white rot fungi, Irpex lacteus and Pycnoporus sanguineus, using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ¹³C solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The overall percent crystallinity in wood undergoing decay by M. incrassata, G. trabeum, and I. lacteus appeared to decrease according to the stage of decay, while in wood decayed by P. sanguineus the crystallinity was found to increase during some stages of degradation. This result is suggested to be potentially due to the different decay strategies employed by these fungi. The average spacing between the 200 cellulose crystal planes was significantly decreased in wood degraded by brown rot, whereas changes observed in wood degraded by the two white rot fungi examined varied according to the selectivity for lignin. The conclusions were supported by a quantitative analysis of the structural components in the wood before and during decay confirming the distinct differences observed for brown and white rot fungi. The results from this study were consistent with differences in degradation methods previously reported among fungal species, specifically more non-enzymatic degradation in brown rot versus more enzymatic degradation in white rot.     

Biodegradation of pentachlorophenol by white rot fungi under ligninolytic and nonligninolytic conditions

The roles of lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, and laccase were investigated in the biodegradation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) by several white rot fungi. The disappearance of pentachlorophenol from cultures of wild type strains,P. chrysosporium, Trametes sp. andPleurotus sp., was observed. The activities of manganese peroxidase and laccase were detected inTiametes sp. andPleurotus sp. cultures. However, the activities of ligninolytic enzymes were not detected inP. chrysosporium cultures. Therefore, our results showed that PCP was degraded under ligninolytic as well as nonligninolytic conditions. Indicating that lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, and laccase are not essential in the biodegradation of PCP by white rot fungi.     

Lignocellulose Degradation during Solid-State Fermentation: Pleurotus ostreatus versus Phanerochaete chrysosporium

Lignocellulose degradation and activities related to lignin degradation were studied in the solid-state fermentation of cotton stalks by comparing two white rot fungi, Pleurotus ostreatus and Phanerochaete chrysosporium. P. chrysosporium grew vigorously, resulting in rapid, nonselective degradation of 55% of the organic components of the cotton stalks within 15 days. In contrast, P. ostreatus grew more slowly with obvious selectivity for lignin degradation and resulting in the degradation of only 20% of the organic matter after 30 days of incubation. The kinetics of ¹⁴C-lignin mineralization exhibited similar differences. In cultures of P. chrysosporium, mineralization ceased after 18 days, resulting in the release of 12% of the total radioactivity as ¹⁴CO₂. In P. ostreatus, on the other hand, 17% of the total radioactivity was released in a steady rate throughout a period of 60 days of incubation. Laccase activity was only detected in water extracts of the P. ostreatus fermentation. No lignin peroxidase activity was detected in either the water extract or liquid cultures of this fungus. 2-Keto-4-thiomethyl butyric acid cleavage to ethylene correlated to lignin degradation in both fungi. A study of fungal activity under solid-state conditions, in contrast to those done under defined liquid culture, may help to better understand the mechanisms involved in lignocellulose degradation.     

Extracellular oxidative enzyme production and PAH removal in soil by exploratory mycelium of white rot fungi

Selected strains of three species of white rot fungi, Pleurotus ostreatus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Trametes versicolor, were grown in sterilized soil from straw inocula. The respective colonization rates and mycelium density values decreased in the above mentioned order. Three- and four-ringed PAHs at 50 ppm inhibited growth of fungi in soil to some extent. The activities of fungal MnP and laccase (units per g dry weight of straw or soil), extracted with 50 mM succinate-lactate buffer (pH 4.5), were 5 to 20-fold higher in straw compared to soil. The enzyme activities per g dry soil in P. ostreatus and T. versicolor were similar, in contrast to P. chrysosporium, where they were extremely low. Compared to the aerated controls, P. ostreatus strains reduced the levels of anthracene, pyrene and phenanthrene by 81–87%, 84–93% and 41–64% within 2 months, respectively. During degradation of anthracene, all P. ostreatus strains accumulated anthraquinone. PAH removal rates in P. chrysosporium and T. versicolor soil cultures were much lower.     

Lignin degradation by white rot fungi on spruce wood shavings during short-time solid-state fermentations monitored by near infrared spectroscopy

Due to their outstanding capability of degrading the recalcitrant biomacromolecule lignin, white rot fungi have been attracting interest for several technological applications in mechanical pulping and wood surface modification. However, little is known about the time course of delignification in early stages of colonisation of wood by these fungi. Using a Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopic technique, lignin loss of sterilised spruce wood shavings (0.4–2.0 mm particle size) that had been degraded by various species of white rot fungi could be monitored already during the first 2 weeks. The delignification kinetics of Dichomitus squalens, three Phlebia species (Phlebia brevispora, Phlebia radiata and Phlebia tremellosa), three strains of Ceriporiopsis subvermispora as well as the white rot ascomycete Hypoxylon fragiforme and the basidiomycete Oxyporus latemarginatus were determined. Each of the fungi tested was able to reduce the lignin content of spruce wood significantly during the first week. The amount of delignification achieved by the selected white rot fungi after 2 weeks ranged from 7.2% for C. subvermispora (FPL 105.752) to 2.5% for P. radiata. Delignification was significant (P = 95%) already after 3 days treatment with C. subvermispora and P. tremellosa. Activities of extracellular ligninolytic enzymes (laccase, manganese peroxidase and/or lignin peroxidase), expressed by each of the tested fungi, were determined. Lignin was degraded when peroxidase activity was detected in the fungal cultures, but only a low level of correlation between enzyme activities and the extent of delignification was found.
