The white-rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium(P. chrysosporium), was inoculated during different phases of agricultural waste composting and its effect on the spectroscopic characterization of humic acid(HA) was s...
Laccases are blue copper oxidases (E.C. 1.10.3.2 benzenediol:oxygen oxidoreductase) that catalyze the one-electron oxidation of phenolics, aromatic amines and other electron-rich substrates with the concomitant red...
The proline iminopeptidase (PchPiPA) of the white-rot fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium is an exopeptidase specific to catalyze hydrolysis of the N-terminal proline of peptides or proteins. Its catalytic cavity is com...

Biological pretreatment is a promising way to overcome the biorecalcitrance of cleaving the super- molecular structure of lignocellulose by lignin degrading enzymes from microorganisms. Solid state fermentation of cor...
The white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium is well known for its ability to degrade toxic pollutants owing to its efficient extracellular ligninase system. However, biomass growth and enzyme secretion in presenc...
