Ligninolytic Enzymes in Environmental Management

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biotechnology for Environmental Management and Resource Recovery

Abstract

By producing lignocellulose-degrading enzymes, saprotrophic litter-decomposing Basidiomycetes can significantly contribute to the turnover of soil organic matter. The production of lignin- and polysaccharide-degrading enzymes helps in converting the waste litter into value-added compost. White-rot fungi (WRF) have tremendous potential for biodegradation of a variety of industrial pollutants. The capability of WRF for biodegradation of xenobiotics and recalcitrant pollutants has generated a considerable research interest in this area of environmental biotechnology. The broad spectrum for biodegradation of pollutants is due to the extracellular and nonspecific nature of the enzyme system of fungi, comprising mainly of lignin peroxidase (LiP), manganese peroxidase (MnP), versatile peroxidase, and laccase along with other ancillary enzymes. Differential biodegradation capabilities of WRF are mainly due to physiological differences among them, difference in their genetic makeup, and variable pattern and expression of complex lignin-modifying enzymes (LMEs). The activities of the LMEs can be increased by the addition of different low-molecular-mass mediators, mostly secreted by white-rot fungi themselves.
