Abstract
Lignin is main composition of agricultural biomass which can be decomposed through enzymatic hydrolysis by fungi. However, there are still needs to identify more efficient and effective fungal stain for biomass valorization. In this study, lignin degrading fungi from birch forest were screened for sustainable degradation of waste agricultural straws. The most effective strain was identified as Cerrena unicolor GC.u01 using 18 S rDNA gene-sequencing technology. Three different crop straws (corn stalk, rice and wheat straws) were used for the biotreatment studies. The activities of lignin degrading enzymes, laccase (Lac), cellulase and xylanase, secreted by C. unicolor were also determined. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA) were further used to monitor the effects of the biotreatment process. The results showed that C. unicolor degraded 34.3% rice straw lignin, a percentage which was higher than other isolated strains after 15 d straw liquid fermentation. The highest Lac activity (8.396 U•mL- 1) was observed with corn stalk on the 7 d. Cellulase and xylanase activities, in the same biomass, were higher than those of wheat and rice straws after 15 d. Furthermore, SEM, FTIR and TGA analyses showed that C. unicolor pretreatment process had significant effects on corn stalk, rice and wheat straws' structures. The newly isolated stain of C. unicolor demonstrated high lignin degradation potential that can provide effective, ecofriendly means of valorizing biomass to industrial useable raw-material.

AMB Express 2023; 13:59. [PMID: 37302091 DOI: 10.1186/s13568-023-01566-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/02/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Inonotus obliquus is a pathogenic fungus found in living trees and has been widely used as a traditional medicine for cancer therapy. Although lignocellulose-degrading enzymes are involved in the early stages of host infection, the parasitic life cycle of this fungus has not been fully understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the activities of laccase (Lac), manganese peroxidase (MnP), and lignin peroxidase (LiP) from I. obliquus cultivated in Kirk's medium. The fungus was subjected to genome sequencing, and genes related to wood degradation were identified. The draft genome sequence of this fungus comprised 21,203 predicted protein-coding genes, of which 134 were estimated to be related to wood degradation. Among these, 47 genes associated with lignin degradation were found to have the highest number of mnp genes. Furthermore, we cloned the cDNA encoding a putative MnP, referred to as IoMnP1, and characterized its molecular structure. The results show that IoMnP1 has catalytic properties analogous to MnP. Phylogenetic analysis also confirmed that IoMnP1 was closely related to the MnPs from Pyrrhoderma noxium, Fomitiporia mediterranea, and Sanghuangporus baumii, which belong to the same family of Hymenochaetaceae. From the above results, we suggest that IoMnP1 is a member of MnPs.

Abstract
White rot fungi is a kind of filamentous fungi which can degrade lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose effectively. In this study, a wild white rot fungi collected from Pingba Town, Bijie City of China was identified as Coprinellus disseminatus (fruiting body) based on morphological and molecular identification. The mycelium of C. disseminatus cultured in the medium supplemented xylan as carbon showed the higher xylanase (XLE) and cellulase (CLE) activity. Further, the activities of tissue degradation-related enzymes including XLE, CLE, acetyl xylanesterase (AXE) and α-L-arabinofuran glycosidase (α-L-AF) were determined after fermenting Eucommia ulmoides leaves by inoculating C. disseminatus mycelium. The results showed that the activities of XLE, CLE, AXE and α-L-AF of mycelium cultured in xylan-contained medium reached the maximum at 5 d after inoculation, which were 777.606 ± 4.248 U mL-1, 9.594 ± 0.008 U mL-1, 4.567 ± 0.026 U mL-1 and 3.497 ± 0.10 U mL-1 respectively. Also, the activities of AXE and α-L-AF both reached the maximum in C. disseminatus mycelium cultured in glucose-contained medium. By comparing the yield of E. ulmoides gum under different fermentation treatments, the extraction yield of E. ulmoides gum were 2.156 ± 0.031% and 2.142 ± 0.044% at 7 d and 14 d after fermentation with mycelium supplemented xylan as carbon source, which were significantly higher than other groups. This study provides a theoretical reference for the preparation of E. ulmoides gum by large-scale fermentation of E. ulmoides leaves with C. disseminatus.

Abstract
Cultivating oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus), a typical primary decomposer of lignocellulose, on a short composting substrate is a novel procedure which possesses energy conserves, reduced the chance of infection by competitive species, shorter production duration and achieved high production efficiency. However, the microbiome and microbial metabolic functions in the composting substrate during the mushroom cropping is unknown. In the present study, the contents of hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin and the activities of protease, laccase and cellulase were evaluated in the corncob short composting substrate from before oyster mushroom spawning to first flush fructification; meanwhile the changes in the microbiome and microbial metabolic functions were surveyed by using metagenomic sequencing. Results showed that the hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin in the short composting substrate were decomposed of 42.76, 34.01, and 30.18%, respectively, during the oyster mushroom cropping process. In addition, the contents of hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin in the composting substrate were reduced rapidly and negatively correlated with the abundance of the Actinobacteria phylum. The activities of protease, laccase and cellulase fastly increased in the period of before oyster mushroom spawning to full colonization and were positively correlated to the abundance of Actinobacteria phylum. The total abundance of bacteria domain gradually decreased by only approximately 15%, while the abundance of Actinobacteria phylum increased by 68% and was positively correlated with that of oyster mushroom. The abundance of oyster mushroom increased by 50 times from spawning to first flush fructification. The dominant genera, all in the order of Actinomycetales, were Cellulosimicrobium, Mycobacterium, Streptomyces and Saccharomonospora. The total abundance of genes with functions annotated in the Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COG) for Bacteria and Archaea and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database for all three life domains was positively correlated.The three metabolic pathways for carbohydrates, amino acids and energy were the primary enrichment pathways in KEGG pathway, accounting for more than 30% of all pathways, during the mushroom cropping in which the glycine metabolic pathway, carbon fixation pathways in prokaryotes and methane metabolism were all dominated by bacteria. The genes of cellulolytic enzymes, hemicellulolytic enzymes, laccase, chitinolytic enzymes, peptidoglycanlytic enzymes and ammonia assimilation enzymes with abundances from 0.28 to 0.24%, 0.05 to 0.02%, 0.02 to 0.01%, 0.14 to 0.08%, 0.39 to 0.16%, and 0.13 to 0.12% during the mushroom cropping identified in the Evolutionary Genealogy of Genes: Non-supervised Orthologous Groups (eggNOG) database for all three life domains were all aligned to COG database. These results indicated that bacteria, especially Actinomycetales, were the main metabolism participants in the short composting substrate during the oyster mushroom cropping. The relationship between oyster mushrooms and bacteria was cooperative, Actinomycetales were oyster mushroom growth promoting bacteria (OMGPB).

Improving crude protein and methionine production, selective lignin degradation and digestibility of wheat straw by Inonotus obliquus using response surface methodology. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2022; 102:1146-1154. [PMID: 34329483 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.11451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2020] [Revised: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/30/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, fungus-assisted pretreatment of agricultural residue has not become the preferred method to produce protein-enriched and ruminally digestible animal feed because of low time efficiency of fungal delignification and protein production, i.e. the long solid-state fermentation period, and because of laccase as a potential inhibitor of cellulose activity. In this study, response surface methodology was employed to optimize the parameters in the process of producing nutritious animal feed from wheat straw with Inonotus obliquus pretreatment. RESULTS The mineral salt solution containing (w/v) (NH4 )2 SO4 1%, MgSO4 ·7H2 O 0.03%, KH2 PO4 0.011%, Tween-80 0.4%, and corn starch 10% with pH of 7.4 was optimized. Inonotus obliquus rapidly and completely colonized on wheat straw with an ergosterol content of 280 μg g-1 dry matter, consuming 45% of lignin after 15 days of fermentation, producing maximums of lignin peroxidase (1729 IU g-1 ), manganese peroxidase (610 IU g-1 ) and laccase (98 IU g-1 ) on days 5, 15, and 25, respectively. The crude protein (102.4 g kg-1 ) of 15-day fermented wheat straw increased by ~132%. After hydrolysis, the essential protein-bound amino acids (15.3 g kg-1 ) increased by ~47%, within which Met and Lys measured ~1070% and ~60% higher. The treatment with I. obliquus also improved the in vitro gas production after 72 h (IVGP72 ) of wheat straw to 178.8 mL g-1 organic matter (~43% increase). CONCLUSION For the first time, we found that I. obliquus is an effective white rot fungus turning wheat straw into ruminally digestible animal feed without laccase inhibitor.

Abstract
In this work, we investigated whether coating fresh shiitake mushrooms with a polysaccharide isolated from Oudemansiella radicata (ORWP) would impact key quality characteristics after 18 d of storage at 4 °C. We found that ORWP-coated mushrooms had significant improvements in many qualities during storage, including reduced weight loss, improved firmness, reduced browning, decreased malondialdehyde content, and an improved physical microstructure. Further, ORWP-coated mushrooms had higher contents of nutritional and cell wall compounds compared to control samples. ORWP-coated mushrooms had reduced activities of the following enzymes: protease, polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase, cellulase, and chitinase, relative to control samples. However, mushrooms coated with ORWP had higher concentrations of superoxide dismutase and catalase, as well as higher contents of certain key monosodium glutamate-resembling amino acids, umami 5'-nucleotides and 1-octen-3-ol. These findings suggest that ORWP coatings have potential value as a method to improve the postharvest quality of shiitake mushrooms.
