Ligninolytic Enzymes for Water Depollution, Coal Breakdown, and Paper Industry

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
CO2 Sequestration, Biofuels and Depollution

Part of the book series: Environmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World ((ECSW,volume 5))

Abstract

Lignin breakdown modifies lignocellulose structure to produce smaller carbohydrates usable for further bioconversion. White rot fungi produces ligninolytic enzymes such as lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, laccases and versatile peroxidase, which efficiently mineralize lignin. We review applications of ligninolytic enzymes. Applications include delignification of lignocellulose, removal of organic pollutants, wastewater treatment, dye decolorization, soil treatment, breakdown of coal into low molecular weight fractions, biopulping and biobleaching in paper industries, and enzymatic polymerization in polymer industries.
