The white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium metabolized phenanthrene when it was grown for 7 days at 37 degrees C in a medium containing malt extract, D-glucose, D-maltose, yeast extract, and Tween 80. After cultures were grown with [9-14C]phenanthrene, radioactive metabolites were extracted from the medium with ethyl acetate, separated by high-performance liquid chromatography, and detect...

ABSTRACT The increasing demand for using microorganisms in agriculture to improve food production requires constantly assessing microbial diversity. This study aimed investigate the biochemical properties of individual and combined multifunctional microorganisms, as well identify potential applications biotechnology or agriculture. experiment comprised 29 treatments, with 7 single 21 microorgan...

Enormous volumes of effluent are generated at different stages of textile manufacturing, as a result of the use of copious amounts of chemicals and dyes. Several tons of textiles required to meet up with societal demands are produced daily in this industry. Effluent derived from the textile and dyestuff activities can provoke serious environmental impact in the neighboring receptor water bodies...

Fenthion was metabolised by the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium in liquid culture when applied to the limit of its solubility in aqueous media (7.2 μM). Using GCNPD, no evidence for either adsorption to or accumulation in intra-cellular compartments was obtained and after 5 days culture, less than 1% of fenthion remained in the extracellular medium. Fenthion did not inhibit spore g...

Distillery effluent is perilous and hazardous to human race by polluting the water bodies and soil. In whole world every year the total production of distillery products is less then the production of distillery effluents. And due to this the ecological balance continuously disturbing and the food web and food chain of organism also ill effected with the toxic pollutants released from distiller...

On the basis of degradation properties of Phanerochaete chroysosporium ME 446 found in white-rot fungi in respect of many organic compounds with toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic characteristics, the physiological conditions effective for the degradation of heptachlor (1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8heptachloro-3a, 4, 7, 7a-tetrahydro-4, 7-methanoindene), an organic chlorine used in insecticides Phanerocha...

An engineered cDNA from Phanerochaete chrysosporium encoding both the mature and pro-sequence regions of Lip isoenzyme H8 (Lip) has been successfully overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein (LipP*) was sequestered in inclusion bodies. The reduced-denatured polypeptide has been purified by differential solubilization, and the active enzyme recovered after controlled in vitro r...
