Transcriptome Analysis of White-Rot Fungi in Response to Lignocellulose or Lignocellulose-Derived Material Using RNA Sequencing Technology

White-rot fungi are the only organisms that can completely degrade all components of lignocellulosic biomass, including the recalcitrant lignin polymer. Lignin degradation is important for the industrial application of lignocellulosic biomass as a raw material for producing value-added chemicals and materials. Therefore, elucidating the lignin degradation mechanism in white-rot fungi will help researchers develop efficient and eco-friendly methods enabling the production of value-added chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass. A transcriptome analysis is an effective way to compare gene expression patterns between different samples under diverse conditions and can provide insights into biological processes. The democratization of next-generation sequencing technology, especially RNA-sequencing, has made transcriptome sequencing and analysis a common research approach for many laboratories. In this review, we focus on the transcriptome profiles of two well-characterized white-rot fungi (Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Dichomitus squalens) in response to various lignocellulosic materials. The application of RNA-seq technology combining with other techniques remains the best approach for investigating fungal secretomes and elucidating the mechanisms of fungal responses to lignocellulose.

Conditional Optimization of Laccase Production by Whiterot Fungi through Fermentation

Phanerochaete chrysosporium was selected as the production strain of laccase,and the effects of stirring speed,ventilation volume,culture temperature,inoculation amount and initial p H of medium on laccase production by liquid fermentation in cylinder were studied. On the basis of single factor test,an orthogonal test was carried out to find optimal conditions for laccase production P. chrysosporium through liquid fermentation. These results showed that the stirring speed of fermentation cylinder had the highest effect on laccase production,and the optimal conditions were shown as follows： the temperature at 28 ℃,the rotating speed at 300 r/min,the ventilation volume of 5 L/min（ ventilation ratio of 1.0 vvm）,the initial p H of medium of 5,and the inoculation amount of 15%,which gave the highest laccase level of 14. 86 U/ml.

Degradation of lignite model compounds by the action of white rot fungi

Three compounds modeled on the lignite structure were chosen for experimental degradation by different fungi strains. Culture conditions and extracellular enzyme activities were optimized. The growth curves of the strains were determined to study mycelium dry weight and protein content changes. Gas chromatography and infrared spectroscopy were used to detect changes of functional groups before and after the action of the fungi on the model compounds. Possible decomposition products and degrada-tion mechanisms were proposed. The research findings show that C. Versicolor and Golden Mushroom can grow in presence of the model compounds. The optimum culture conditions were a pH of 6.0, a carbon-nitrogen ratio of five and a Tween-80 concentration of 0.1%. Newly produced substances were found by gas chromatography. Infrared analysis showed that the model compounds degraded under the action of the microorganisms.

Biodegradation and Sugar Release from Canola Plant Biomass by Selected White Rot Fungi

Canola crop is rich in plant biomass. It is considered a major cash crop in North America and a potential source for biofuel. We evaluated six strains of white rot basidiomycetes under solid state fermentation (SSF) for their potentials to secrete oxidative and hydrolytic enzymes to biodegrade canola plant biomass (CPB), and release sugars. Fuscoporia gilva and Pleurotus tuberregium produced high amount of laccase (440.86 U/L and 480.63 U/L at day 7), as well as carboxylmethylcellulase (CMCase) (4.78 U/mL at day 21 and 3.13 U/mL at day 14) and xylanase (4.48 U/mL and 7.8 U/mL at day 21), respectively. Bjerkandera adusta showed high amount of MnP (50.4 U/L) and peroxidase (64.5 U/L), relative to the other strains. Loss of organic matter peaked after 21 days of incubation in all the tested strains;however, the best result (34.0%) was shown in P. tuberregium. The highest lignin loss was observed in Coriolopsis caperata strains. Among the sugar polymers, hemicellulose was highly degraded by P. tuberregium and P. pulmonarius (4.1% - 4.6%), while cellulose (3.3% - 4.3%) was mainly degraded by F. gilva and B. adusta. Glucose was the dominant sugar released by all the fungi tested, with the highest concentration of 1.25 mg/mL produced by B. adusta at day 14 of incubation. Results indicate that selected white rot fungi can achieve significant delignification of CPB within 14 days of solid state fermentation. Their importance in low cost pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass prior to conversion into biofuels and bio-products of economic importance is discussed.

BIOCHEMICAL PULPING OF REED PRETREATED BY WHITE ROT FUNGI

The Soda-AQ pulps were made from reed pretreated by white rot fungi Panus conchatus, Cyathus stercoreus and Pleurotus florida respectively. It was found that kappa number decreased and the brightness increased for Soda-AQ pulps from the reed treated by Pleurotus florida and Panus conchatus, but it was reverse for the pulp from reed treated by Cyathus stercoreus. The result indicated that white rot fungi Pleurotus florida and Panus conchatus were selective to degrade lignin in reed, which were good for biopulping, but Cyathus stercoreus was preferential to degrade cellulose, which was not good for biopulping.

Enzymatic activities and kinetic properties of β-glucosidase from selected white rot fungi

Beta-glucosidase is among the suite of enzymes produced by white rot fungi (WRF) to biodegrade plant biomass. This study investigated the enzymatic activities and kinetic properties of β-glucosidase from seventeen WRF comprised of the following species from various geographical locations: Pleurotus ostreatus, Auricularia auricular, Polyporus squamosus, Trametes versicolor, Lentinula edodes, and Grifola frondosa. All the WRF studied showed β-glucosidase activities. Significant variations in protein and carbohydrate contents were also recorded. Beta-glucosidase activities after 30 min of incubation ranged from 6.4 μg (T. versicolor) to 225 μg (G. frondosa). The calculated kinetic constant (Km) ranged from 0.47 μM (A. auricular-1120) to 719 μM (L. edodes-7). The Vmax depending on the kinetic transformation model ranged from 0.21 μg·min-1 (T. versicolor) to 9.70 μg·min-1 (G. frondosa-28). Beta-glucosidase activities also exhibited pH optima between 3.5 and 5.0 while temperature optima were between 60°C and 70°C with some media exhibiting a secondary temperature peak at 90°C attributable to the presence of thermostable isoenzyme. WRF if appropriately screened and purified can be harnessed to potentially improve the bio-conversion of cellulose to glucose and also facilitate efficient plant biomass biodegradation and production of useful plant bio-products.

Interfacial processes and mechanisms of synergistic degradation of dichlorobiphenyl by white rot fungi and magnetite nanoparticles

The rapid increase in the artificial syntheses of organic pollutants has raised widespread concern.However,the mechanisms by which fungi degrade these new organic pollutants in the environment and adapt to environmental stressors remain unclear.In this study,Phanerochaete chrysosporium,a model white rot fungus,was used to explore the interfacial processes and mechanisms for synergistic degradation of 4,4′-dichlorobiphenyl(PCB15)with magnetite nanoparticles.The results showed that after 3 and 5 days of cultivation with Phanerochaete chrysosporium alone,the rates for PCB15 degradation were 32%and 65%,respectively,indicating that the white rot fungus itself was able to degrade the organic pollutant.Moreover,the addition of magnetite nanoparticles significantly enhanced the degradation of PCB15 by Phanerochaete chrysosporium.After cocultivation for 3 and 5 days,the rates for PCB15 degradation increased to 42%and 84%,respectively.Synchrotron radiation-based Fourier transform infrared spectromicroscopy(SR-FTIR)showed that the magnetite particles were tightly adhered to the fungal hyphae and were unevenly distributed on the hyphal surfaces.Furthermore,cocultivation of the fungus and magnetite nanoparticles significantly enhanced the nanozymatic activity of magnetite.A linear regression model provided a significantly negative correlation(r=−0.96,p<0.001)between the nanozymatic activity of the magnetite and the concentration ratio of the PCB15,supporting the hypothesis that white rot fungi degraded the PCB15 by enhancing the nanozyme activity of magnetite.High-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)revealed that the nanozymatic activity of magnetite was mainly governed by oxygen vacancies on the mineral surfaces rather than the iron valence.Together,these findings increase our understanding of the powerful capabilities of fungi in terms of stress resistance and adaptation to extreme environments and provide new insights into fungal-mediated degradation of organic pollutants for soil remediation in contaminated sites.

Experimental Study on Decolorization and Degradation of Reactive Brilliant Red X-3B in a White Rot Fungal Biofilm Reactor

Experimental results of an azo dye(reactive brilliant red X 3B, RBR X 3B) decolorization and degradation in a white rot fungal biofilm reactor were introduced and discussed. The fungal biofilm reactor is highly potential for dye decolorization and degradation with the highest decoloring rate of 95% within 96 hours reaction time at initial pH 4.5 under high nitrogen level (HN) (24 mmol/L ammonium tartrate) condition. Experimental conditions, such as nutrient nitrogen levels in reaction mixture and initial pH, significantly affected dye decolorization and degradation. Effluents from this biofilm reactor can be well treated to meet the discharging requirements by use of chemical flocculation.RBR X 3B was first absorbed onto fungal biomass and then degraded gradually. The SH 13 fungus monopolized the biofilm throughout the experiments, though the reactor was exposed to open air for 4 months.

Bio-solubilization of Chinese lignite I:extra-cellular protein analysis

A white rot fungus strain, Trichoderma sp.AH, was isolated from rotten wood in Fushun and used to study the mechanism of lignite bio-solubilization.The results showed that nitric acid pretreated Fushun lignite was solubilized by T.sp.AH and that extracellular proteins from T.sp.AH were correlated with the lignite bio-solubilization results.In the presence of Fushun lignite the extracellular protein concentration from T.sp.AH was 4.5 g/L while the concentration was 3 g/L in the absence of Fushun lignite.Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE) of the extracellular proteins detected at least four new protein bands after the T.sp.AH had solubilized the lignite.Enzyme color reactions showed that extracellular proteins from T.sp.AH mainly consisted of phenol-oxidases, but that lignin decomposition enzymes such as laccase, peroxidase and manganese peroxidases were not present.
