In the presence of 8 mM N-N-N’-N’-tetramethylenediamine (TEMED), the mineralization rate of 14C-DDT was reduced by 80%. In the presence of 2 mM or 10 mM EDTA, 95% inhibition of lignin peroxidase (LiP) mediated veratryl alcohol oxidase activity and 97% inhibition of LiP mediated iodide oxidase activity occurred. TEMED caused 79% inhibition of veratryl alcohol oxidase activity and 92% inhibition of iodide oxidase activity when the amount used was 2 mM and 10 mM, respectively. In the presence of Zn(II) with slight molar excess of the EDTA concentration, reversed the EDTA mediated non-competitive inhibition of LiP catalyzed veratryl alcohol or iodide oxidation. Zn(II) also reversed the inhibition of LiP catalyzed veratryl alcohol oxidase activity caused by chelators other than EDTA and TEMED. In addition to Zn(II), several other metal ions also relieved EDTA mediated inhibition of veratryl alcohol and iodide oxidase activity catalyzed by LiP. The ability of veratryl alcohol to inhibit iodide oxidation catalyzed by LiP showed that veratryl alcohol could inhibit LiP mediated iodide oxidase activity. Increasing the concentration of iodide was also shown to inhibit veratryl alcohol oxidation. Kinetic analysis showed that the reaction was competitive inhibition. Key Words: lignin peroxidase (LiP), EDTA, TEMED, chelator, kinetic study, competitive inhibition, non-competitive inhibition I.

However, their recalcitrance currently makes lignocellulose use limited. In natural environments, microbial communities can completely deconstruct lignocellulose by synergistic action of a set of enzymes and proteins. Microbial degradation of lignin by fungi, important lignin degraders in nature, has been intensively studied. More recently, bacteria have also been described as able to break down lignin, and to have a central role in recycling this plant polymer. Nevertheless, bacterial deconstruction of lignin has not been fully elucidated yet. Direct analysis of environmental samples using metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metaproteomics approaches is a powerful strategy to describe/discover enzymes, metabolic pathways, and microorganisms involved in lignin breakdown. Indeed, the use of these complementary techniques leads to a better understanding of the composition, function, and dynamics of microbial communities involved in lignin deconstruction. We focus on omics approaches and their contribution to the discovery of new enzymes and reactions that impact the development of lignin-based bioprocesses.

  • Oxidative Degradation of Non-Phenolic Lignin During Lipid Peroxidation by Fungal Manganese Peroxidase
    FEBS Letters 354 (1994) 297-300 FEBS 14759 Oxidative degradation of non-phenolic lignin during lipid peroxidation by fungal manganese peroxidase Wuli Bao, Yaichi Fukushima, Kenneth A. Jensen Jr., Mark A. Moen, Kenneth E. Hammel* USDA Forest Products Laboratory, Madison, WI 53705, USA Received 3 October 1994 Abstract A non-phenolic lignin model dimer, 1-(4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-phenoxypropane-l ,3-diol, was oxidized by a lipid peroxidation system that consisted of a fungal manganese peroxidase, Mn(II), and unsaturated fatty acid esters. The reaction products included 1-(4-ethoxy-3- methoxyphenyl)-1-oxo-2-phenoxy-3-hydroxypropane and 1-(4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)- 1-oxo-3-hydroxypropane, indicating that substrate oxida- tion occurred via benzylic hydrogen abstraction. The peroxidation system depolymerized both exhaustively methylated (non-phenolic) and unmeth- ylated (phenolic) synthetic lignins efficiently. It may therefore enable white-rot fungi to accomplish the initial delignification of wood. Key words: Manganese peroxidase; Lipid peroxidation; Ligninolysis; Non-phenolic lignin; White-rot fungus 1.

Screening experiments were performed at 30oC from 1 to 10 days and maximum enzyme activities were recorded after the 5th day of incubation on banana stalk. P. chrysosporium IBL-03 produced highest activities of lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP) but no laccase activity was detected in any fermented culture media. Production of ligninolytic enzymes was substantially enhanced through the optimization process. When banana stalk at 66.6 % moisture level and pH 4.5 was inoculated with 5mL spore suspension of P. chrysosporium IBL-03 at 35oC in the presence of molasses (1%) as carbon source, ammonium sulfate (0.2%) as nitrogen supplement, (1%) Tween-80 (0.3 mL) as surfactant and mediators (MnSO4 and veratryl alcohol) enhanced the LiP and MnP production up to 1040 and 965 (U/mL), respectively.

Extensive searching within sequencing projects identified organisms containing sequences of this superfamily. Class I peroxidases, cytochrome c peroxidase (CcP), ascorbate peroxidase (APx), and catalase peroxidase (CP), are known to be present in bacteria, fungi, and plants, but have now been found in various protists. CcP sequences were detected in most mitochondria-possessing organisms except for green plants, which possess only ascorbate peroxidases. APx sequences had previously been observed only in green plants but were also found in chloroplastic protists, which acquired chloroplasts by secondary endosymbiosis. CP sequences that are known to be present in prokaryotes and in Ascomycetes were also detected in some Basidiomycetes and occasionally in some protists.

Taherzadeh Lignocellulosic carbohydrates, i.e. cellulose and hemicellulose, have abundant potential as feedstock for production of biofuels and chemicals. However, these carbohydrates are generally infiltrated by lignin. Breakdown of the lignin barrier will alter lignocelluloses structures and make the carbohydrates accessible for more efficient bioconversion. White-rot fungi produce ligninolytic enzymes (lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, and laccase) and efficiently mineralise lignin into CO2 and H2O. Biological pretreatment of lignocelluloses using white-rot fungi has been used for decades for ruminant feed, enzymatic hydrolysis, and biopulping. Application of white-rot fungi capabilities can offer environmentally friendly processes for utilising lignocelluloses over physical or chemical pretreatment. This paper reviews white-rot fungi, ligninolytic enzymes, the effect of biological pretreatment on biomass characteristics, and factors affecting biological pretreatment. Application of biological pretreatment for enzymatic hydrolysis, biofuels (bioethanol, biogas and pyrolysis), biopulping, biobleaching, animal feed, and enzymes production are also discussed.

Abstract: Wastewater emissions from textile factories cause serious environmental problems. Man- ganese peroxidase (MnP) is an oxidoreductase with ligninolytic activity and is a promising biocatalyst for the biodegradation of hazardous environmental contaminants, and especially for dye wastewater decolorization. This article first summarizes the origin, crystal structure, and catalytic cycle of MnP, and then reviews the recent literature on its application to dye wastewater decolorization. In addition, the application of new technologies such as enzyme immobilization and genetic engineering that could improve the stability, durability, adaptability, and operating costs of the enzyme are highlighted. Finally, we discuss and propose future strategies to improve the performance of MnP-assisted dye decolorization in industrial applications.

  • Biodegradation of Alkaline Lignin by Bacillus Ligniniphilus L1
    Zhu et al. Biotechnol Biofuels (2017) 10:44 DOI 10.1186/s13068-017-0735-y Biotechnology for Biofuels RESEARCH Open Access Biodegradation of alkaline lignin by Bacillus ligniniphilus L1 Daochen Zhu1,2*, Peipei Zhang1, Changxiao Xie1, Weimin Zhang2, Jianzhong Sun1, Wei‑Jun Qian3 and Bin Yang4* Abstract Background: Lignin is the most abundant aromatic biopolymer in the biosphere and it comprises up to 30% of plant biomass. Although lignin is the most recalcitrant component of the plant cell wall, still there are microorganisms able to decompose it or degrade it. Fungi are recognized as the most widely used microbes for lignin degradation. However, bacteria have also been known to be able to utilize lignin as a carbon or energy source. Bacillus ligniniphilus L1 was selected in this study due to its capability to utilize alkaline lignin as a single carbon or energy source and its excellent ability to survive in extreme environments. Results: To investigate the aromatic metabolites of strain L1 decomposing alkaline lignin, GC–MS analysis was per‑ formed and fifteen single phenol ring aromatic compounds were identified. The dominant absorption peak included phenylacetic acid, 4-hydroxy-benzoicacid, and vanillic acid with the highest proportion of metabolites resulting in 42%. Comparison proteomic analysis was carried out for further study showed that approximately 1447 kinds of pro‑ teins were produced, 141 of which were at least twofold up-regulated with alkaline lignin as the single carbon source. The up-regulated proteins contents different categories in the biological functions of protein including lignin degra‑ dation, ABC transport system, environmental response factors, protein synthesis, assembly, etc.

  • Bacterialdye-Decolorizingperoxidases
    DE GRUYTER Physical Sciences Reviews. 2016; 20160051 Chao Chen / Tao Li Bacterial dye-decolorizing peroxidases: Biochemical properties and biotechnological opportunities DOI: 10.1515/psr-2016-0051 1 Introduction In biorefineries, processing biomass begins with separating lignin fromcellulose and hemicellulose. Thelatter two are depolymerized to give monosaccharides (e.g. glucose and xylose), which can be converted to fuels or chemicals. In contrast, lignin presents a challenging target for further processing due to its inherent heterogene- ity and recalcitrance. Therefore it has only been used in low-value applications. For example, lignin is burnt to recover energy in cellulosic ethanol production. Valorization of lignin is critical for biorefineries as it may generate high revenue. Lignin is the obvious candidate to provide renewable aromatic chemicals [1, 2]. As long as it can be depolymerized, the phenylpropane units can be converted into useful phenolic chemicals, which are currently derived from fossil fuels. In nature, lignin is efficiently depolymerized by rot fungi that secrete heme- and copper-containing oxidative enzymes [3]. Although lignin valorization is an important objective, industrial depolymerization by fungal enzymes would be difficult, largely due to difficulties in protein expression and genetic manipulation infungi. In recent years, however, there is a growing interest in identifying ligninolytic bacteria that contain lignin- degrading enzymes. So far, several bacteria have been characterized to be lignin degraders [4, 5]. These bacteria, including actinobacteria and proteobacteria, have a unique class of dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs, EC 1.11.1.19, PF04261) [6, 7]. These enzymes are equivalent to the fungal oxidases in lignin degradation, but they are much easier to manipulate as their functional expression does not involve post translational modification.
