Arthrographis curvata and Rhodosporidium babjevae as New Potential Fungal Lipase Producers for Biotechnological Applications

Abstract Fungi have always attracted a lot of attention as they are able to produce a vast repertoire of enzymes that find a broad spectrum of uses in biotechnological and industrial fields. Undoubtedly, one of the most promising biocatalysts is the lipase, which has been widely used for the biotransform...

Outstanding impact of soil tillage on the abundance of soil hydrolases revealed by a metagenomic approach

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT The soil represents the main source of novel biocatalysts and biomolecules of industrial relevance. We searched for hydrolases in silico in four shotgun metagenomes (4,079,223 sequences) obtained in a 13-year field trial carried out in southern Brazil, under the no-tillage (NT), or conventional ...

Multi-enzyme complex of white rot fungi in saccharification of lignocellulosic material

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT The multi-enzyme complex (crude extract) of white rot fungi Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus eryngii, Trametes versicolor, Pycnosporus sanguineus and Phanerochaete chrysosporium were characterized, evaluated in the hydrolysis of pretreated pulps of sorghum straw and compared efficiency with commer...

Degradation of keratin substrates by keratinolytic fungi

Background: The hydrolysis of keratin wastes by microorganisms is considered a biotechnological alternative for recycling and valorization through keratinolytic microorganisms. Despite their resistant structure, keratin wastes can be efficiently degraded by various microorganisms through the secretion of...

Producción de enzimas ligninolíticas durante la degradación del herbicida paraquat por hongos de la pudrición blanca

Rev. argent. microbiol; 49 (2), 2017
El paraquat es un herbicida utilizado ampliamente en la agricultura. Debido a su gran distribución y uso inadecuado, representa un problema grave de contaminación del suelo y el agua. Se ha encontrado que los hongos de la podredumbre blanca son capaces de degradar compuestos contaminantes que poseen es...

Antimicrobial and enzymatic activity of anemophilous fungi of a public university in Brazil

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (3,supl), 2017
ABSTRACT To the fungal microbiota the UFPE and biotechnological potential enzymatic and antimicrobial production. Air conditioned environments were sampled using a passive sedimentation technique, the air I ratio and the presence of aflatoxigenic strains evaluated for ANVISA. Icelles were to determine th...

Detección de manganeso peroxidasa y otras exoenzimas en 4 aislamientos de Geastrum (Geastrales) en cultivo puro
Detection of manganese peroxidase and other exoenzymes in four isolates of Geastrum (Geastrales) in pure culture

Rev. argent. microbiol; 48 (4), 2016
Knowledge regarding the enzymatic machinery of fungi is decisive to understand their ecological role. The species of the genus Geastrum are known to grow extremely slowly in pure culture, which makes it difficult to evaluate physiological parameters such as enzyme activity. Qualitative assays were perfor...

Stable expression and characterization of a fungal pectinase and bacterial peroxidase genes in tobacco chloroplast

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (3), 2015
Background The high capacity of chloroplast genome response to integrate and express transgenes at high levels makes this technology a good option to produce proteins of interest. This report presents the stable expression of Pectin lyase (PelA gene) and the first stable expression of manganese peroxidas...

Enhancement of ligninolytic enzyme activities in a Trametes maxima-Paecilomyces carneus co-culture: Key factors revealed after screening using a Plackett-Burman experimental design

Electron. j. biotechnol; 17 (3), 2014
Background In the industrial biotechnology, ligninolytic enzymes are produced by single fungal strains. Experimental evidence suggests that co-culture of ligninolytic fungi and filamentous microfungi results in an increase laccase activity. In this topic, only the ascomycete Trichoderma spp. has been stu...
