<strong>Production of Ligninolytic Enzymes by Cultures of White Rot Fungi</strong>
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Microbiology - Year 2014, Vol 63, Issue 4
Abstract
Some [i]Basidiomycota[/i] were chosen for studies of key ligninases synthesis (25°C, 30 days) in modified medium (shaken or not cultures) with added wheat straw. Liquid Czapek medium with straw yielded a higher amount of laccase than peroxidase, ground straw induced enzyme worse than chopped straw. With peroxidase the reverse dependencies were observed. Laccase of [i]Lentinus edodes[/i] synthesized two enzyme isoforms (ca 30 and 16 kDa). In [i]Trametes versicolor[/i] culture active laccase protein with highest molecular mass ca 65 kDa was found. [i]Pleurotus sajor-caju[/i] yielded three different peroxidase isoforms. Ligninase biosynthesis depended on strain, straw fragmentation extent, culture method and growth medium.

Bacterial Diversity In Çamaltı Saltern, Turkey
A combination of culture-dependent and culture-independent approaches were employed to identify bacterial diversity of Çamaltı solar saltern in Turkey. The bacterial populations of Çamaltı Saltern were analyzed by molecu...
Isolation and Characteristics of Biotechnologically Important Antagonistic Thermophilic Bacteria from Rhizosphere of Haloxylon salicornicum
Rhizobacteria are an active part of microbial population in the rhizosphere of plants. In this study, twenty rhizobacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere of a perennial grass, Haloxylon salicornicum, found in Cholist...
Characterization of Microbial Communities in Acidified, Sulfur Containing Soils
Over a period of three years, microbial communities in acidified soil with high sulfur content were analyzed. In soil water extracts ureolytic, proteolytic, oxidoreductive, and lipolytic activity were detected. The prese...
Erythromycin or Clindamycin - is it Still an Empirical Therapy against Streptococcus agalactiae in Patients Allergic to Penicillin?
Retrospective analysis of Streptococcus agalactiae antibiotic susceptibility isolated in 2010 - 2013 was performed. Penicillin was still the first-line antibiotic. Due to the high percentage of strains resistant to eryt...
