    Extracellular lignin and manganese peroxidase production by the white-rot fungus Coriolus versicolor 290

    Lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP) activity in Coriolus versicolor 290 reach maximal levels after 8 and 10 days growth respectively. Increases in LiP activity were observed upon supplementatio...

    PCR amplification of lignin peroxidase genes in white rot fungi

    Degenerate oligonucleotides encoding the two conserved histidine regions of the Phanerochaete chrysosporium BKM-F-1767 lignin peroxidase gene have been used as PCR primers to clone lignin peroxidase genes from th...

    Effect of surfactants on fluoranthene degradation by Pseudomonas alcaligenes PA-10

    Two surfactants, Tween 80 and JBR, were investigated for their effect on fluoranthene degradation by a Pseudomonad. Both surfactants enhanced fluoranthene degradation by Pseudomonas alcaligenes PA-10 in shake fla...
