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...
