Degradation of High Concentrations of Anthracene Using White-Rot Wood-Inhabiting Fungi and Investigation of Enzyme Activities by Mohadeseh Khajehzadeh, Masoomeh Ghobad-Nejhad, Hamid Moghimi, Ali Abolhasani Soorki, Yu-Cheng Dai, Jing Si

“…Owing to the production of lignin-modifying enzymes (LMEs), white-rot fungi (WRF) such as polypores are potent organisms in the biodegradation of xenobiotic pollutants. The nonspecific function of LMEs including laccase and manganese peroxidase (MnP), has enabled the use of WRF in biotechnological applications, particularly in bioremediation. …”

Bioremediation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon contaminated Aqueous-Soil matrix: Effect of co-contamination by CN Owabor, OC Onwuemene, I Enaburekhan

“…The observed percentages are an indicator that the rate of naphthalene degradation was faster in the control experiment and the results showed that heavy metals inhibited biodegradation of naphthalene by varying degrees. At concentrations of 40mg/l-200mg/l of the different heavy metals, there was a steady reduction in the biodegradation rate, which suggests an increase in the interference with the metabolic activity of the microbes. …”
