“Biodegradative capacity of ligninolytic enzymes: applicables for biorremediation of polluted ecosystems.”

  • Lic. Lucía Laura Ledo Alonso

Environmental pollution is one of the big problems in the world. The industrial development has enhanced the discharge to the environment of large quantities of chemical compounds with high toxicity and limited possibility of biodegradation. The use of enzymatic methods for remediation of polluted areas is a cost-effective and promising strategy. White rot fungi are the most efficient producers of oxidative extracellular enzymes with capacity to transform hazardous pollutants. The biotechnologic...

POTENTIAL OF CUBAN NATIVE STRAINS OF GENUS GANODERMA FOR THE DEGRADATION OF XENOBIOTIC COMPOUNDS

  • Dr. Giselle Torres Farradá

Environmental pollution with hazardous industrial wastes containing recalcitrant xenobiotics has become a major ecological issue. White-Rot Fungi (WRF) and they ligninolytic enzymes (laccases and peroxidases) are considered promising biotechnological tools to remove Persistent Organic Pollutants from industrial wastewaters and contaminated ecosystems. A high diversity within the genus Ganoderma has been reported in Cuba; however the diversity of their ligninolytic enzymes and the biotechnologica...
