Lignocellulose Degrading Enzymes from Fungi and Their Industrial Applications
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Research and Review - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 21
Abstract
The rich diversity of fungi and diverse range of enzymes produced by them together make researchers to exploit their potential for various industrial applications. Few of the fungal enzymes have already been harnessed and many other are to be explored and brought into use. Recent studies suggested that the lignin degrading fungi can be used in the bioremediation of aromatic hydrocarbons including dioxins, dibenzofuran, aromatic dyes, etc. Employing fungal enzymes for the treatment of pollutants has gained attraction recent days for their selectivity, specificity and eco-friendly nature. Of these enzymes, peroxidases (lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase) and laccases are the two major classes of enzymes involved in biodegradation of lignin and recalcitrant xenobiotics. In addition, cellulase and hemicellulase were found to play a role in the management of lignocellulosic wastes. The present review gives a detailed account on the various lignocelluloses degrading enzymes, their fungal sources and their industrial applications.
