  • Title: [Use of basidiomycetes in industrial waste processing and utilization technologies: fundamental and applied aspects (review)].
    Author: Kulikova HA, Kliaĭn OI, Stepanova EV, Koroleva OV.
    Journal: Prikl Biokhim Mikrobiol; 2011; 47(6):619-34. PubMed ID: 22288190.
    Abstract:
    This review provides an analysis of recent data on the mechanisms of degradation of lignocellulosic materials and xenobiotics by basidiomycetes. Special attention is given to the analysis of the current state of research of ligninolytic enzymes and their involvement in the degradation ofxenobiotics. Data on the practical use of basidiomycetes for bioconversion of industrial wastes are systematized. The most promising areas of bioconversion technologies are considered, such as contaminated water purification (including wastewater), cleanup of soils contaminated with heavy metals and xenobiotics, and degradation of difficult-to-degrade substrates (lignin and lignocellulose wastes, low-energy coal, and synthetic polymers).
