Microbiol Spectr 2023; 11:e0141923. [PMID: 37655898 PMCID: PMC10581151 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.01419-23] [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: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Indigenous white-rot fungal isolates Schizophyllum commune, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Ganoderma racenaceum, and Lentinus squarrosulus, demonstrating the ability to depolymerize lignin of the crop residues, were studied for their potential to produce ligninolytic enzymes using modified production media under conditions of limiting and excess nitrogen for higher enzymatic expressions. Secretome-rich media on the investigation confirmed the successful production of lignin-depolymerizing enzymes, viz. laccase, lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, and versatile peroxidase. Production of laccases and peroxidases was statistically significant in nitrogen-limiting media with and without the substrate, across all white-rot fungal cultures at 95% confidence interval. Nitrogen-limiting media with the substrate on analysis extracellularly expressed 99.27 U of laccase and 68.48 U of manganese peroxidase in Schizophyllum commune, while 195.14 U of lignin peroxidase was produced by Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Lentinus squarrosulus expressed 455.34 U of laccase and 357.13 U of versatile peroxidase with 250.09 U of laccase and 206.95 U of manganese peroxidase produced by Ganoderma racenaceum for every milliliter of the media used. Nitrogen-limiting media triggered the production of laccase during the initial stages of growth while the expression of peroxidases was predominant at a later stage. Also, this media evinced increased enzymatic yields with low biomass content compared to nitrogen-excess conditions. The extant study confirmed the positive influence of nitrogen-limiting media in the efficient production of ligninolytic enzymes and their suggestive degradation potential for environmental pollutants, making these enzymes a safe, clean alternative to the use of chemicals and the media to be effective for large-scale production of ligninolytic enzymes. IMPORTANCE Lignin on account of its high abundance, complex polymeric structure, and biochemical properties is identified as a promising candidate in renewable energy and bioproduct manufacturing. However, depolymerization of lignin remains a major challenge in lignin utilization, entailing the employment of harsh treatments representing not only an environmental concern but also a waste of economic potential. Developing an alternative green technology to minimize this impact is imperative. Methods using enzymes to depolymerize lignin are the focus of recent studies. Current research work emphasized the efficient expression of the major lignin-depolymerizing enzymes: laccases, lignin peroxidases, manganese peroxidases, and versatile peroxidases from native isolates of white-rot fungus for several biotechnological applications as well as treatment of crop residues for use as ruminant feed in improving productivity. The importance of nitrogen in augmenting the expression of lignin-depolymerizing enzymes and providing a media recipe for the cost-effective production of ligninolytic enzymes is highlighted.

J Appl Microbiol 2021; 132:1079-1090.

Abstract
AIMS This study investigated the dose-effect of manganese (Mn) addition on wheat straw (WS) decomposition, and explored the potential mechanisms of Mn involved in the acceleration of WS decomposition in regards to the soil microbial communities and enzyme activities. METHODS AND RESULTS A 180-day incubation experiment was performed to examine the decomposition of WS under four Mn levels, that is, 0, 0.25, 1 and 2 mg g-1 . The effects of microbial communities and enzyme activities were evaluated using control (0 mg g-1 ) and Mn (0.25 mg g-1 ) treatments. Our results revealed that Mn (0.25 mg g-1 ) addition significantly increased WS decomposition, and enhanced the release of carbon and nitrogen. Optimal Mn addition (0.25 mg g-1 ) also caused significant increases in the activity of neutral xylanase (NEX), laccase (Lac), manganese peroxidase (MnP) and lignin peroxidase (LiP) within the incubation period. Mn (0.25 mg g-1 ) addition also enriched some operational taxonomic units (OTUs) that, in turn, had the potential ability to decompose crop straw, such as secreting lignocellulolytic enzymes. CONCLUSIONS Mn (0.25 mg g-1 ) could promote WS decomposition through enrichment of the microbial species involved in biomass decomposition, which enhanced the lignocellulose-degrading enzyme activity. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This study provides evidence for Mn to promote WS biodegradation after Mn application, opening new windows to improve the utilization efficiency of crop residues.

Genes (Basel) 2020; 11:genes11101227.

Abstract
Ceriporiopsis subvermispora is a white-rot fungus with a high specificity towards lignin mineralization when colonizing dead wood or lignocellulosic compounds. Its lignocellulose degrading system is formed by cellulose hydrolytic enzymes, manganese peroxidases, and laccases that catalyze the efficient depolymerization and mineralization of lignocellulose. To determine if this metabolic specialization has modified codon usage of the lignocellulolytic system, improving its adaptation to the fungal translational machine, we analyzed the adaptation to host codon usage (CAI), tRNA pool (tAI, and AAtAI), codon pair bias (CPB), and the number of effective codons (Nc). These indexes were correlated with gene expression of C. subvermispora, in the presence of glucose and Aspen wood. General gene expression was not correlated with the index values. However, in media containing Aspen wood, the induction of expression of lignocellulose-degrading genes, showed significantly (p < 0.001) higher values of CAI, AAtAI, CPB, tAI, and lower values of Nc than non-induced genes. Cellulose-binding proteins and manganese peroxidases presented the highest adaptation values. We also identified an expansion of genes encoding glycine and glutamic acid tRNAs. Our results suggest that the metabolic specialization to use wood as the sole carbon source has introduced a bias in the codon usage of genes involved in lignocellulose degradation. This bias reduces codon diversity and increases codon usage adaptation to the tRNA pool available in C. subvermispora. To our knowledge, this is the first study showing that codon usage is modified to improve the translation efficiency of a group of genes involved in a particular metabolic process.

Abstract
Previously identified twelve plant cell wall degradation-associated genes of the white rot fungus Phlebia radiata were studied by RT-qPCR in semi-aerobic solid-state cultures on lignocellulose waste material, and on glucose-containing reference medium. Wood-decay-involved enzyme activities and ethanol production were followed to elucidate both the degradative and fermentative processes. On the waste lignocellulose substrate, P. radiata carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZy) genes encoding cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic activities were significantly upregulated whereas genes involved in lignin modification displayed a more complex response. Two lignin peroxidase genes were differentially expressed on waste lignocellulose compared to glucose medium, whereas three manganese peroxidase-encoding genes were less affected. On the contrary, highly significant difference was noticed for three cellulolytic genes (cbhI_1, eg1, bgl1) with higher expression levels on the lignocellulose substrate than on glucose. This indicates expression of the wood-attacking degradative enzyme system by the fungus also on the recycled, waste core board material. During the second week of cultivation, ethanol production increased on the core board to 0.24 g/L, and extracellular activities against cellulose, xylan, and lignin were detected. Sugar release from the solid lignocellulose resulted with concomitant accumulation of ethanol as fermentation product. Our findings confirm that the fungus activates its white rot decay system also on industrially processed lignocellulose adopted as growth substrate, and under semi-aerobic cultivation conditions. Thus, P. radiata is a good candidate for lignocellulose-based renewable biotechnology to make biofuels and biocompounds from materials with less value for recycling or manufacturing.

Abstract
White-rot fungi play an important role in the global carbon cycle because they are the species that almost exclusively biodegrade wood lignin in nature. Lignin peroxidases (LiPs), manganese peroxidases (MnPs) and versatile peroxidases (VPs) are considered key players in the ligninolytic system. Apart from LiPs, MnPs and VPs, however, only few other factors involved in the ligninolytic system have been investigated using molecular genetics, implying the existence of unidentified elements. By combining classical genetic techniques with next-generation sequencing technology, they successfully showed an efficient forward genetics approach to identify mutations causing defects in the ligninolytic system of the white-rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus. In this study, they identified two genes - chd1 and wtr1 - mutations in which cause an almost complete loss of Mn2+ -dependent peroxidase activity. The chd1 gene encodes a putative chromatin modifier, and wtr1 encodes an agaricomycete-specific protein with a putative DNA-binding domain. The chd1-1 mutation and targeted disruption of wtr1 hamper the ability of P. ostreatus to biodegrade wood lignin. Examination of the effects of the aforementioned mutation and disruption on the expression of certain MnP/VP genes suggests that a complex mechanism underlies the ligninolytic system in P. ostreatus.

Abstract
Actinomycetes represent an attractive source of ligninolytic enzymes. 43 actinomycetes were screened for laccase and peroxidase activities. The novel species N. gerenzanensis produces a valuable bacterial peroxidase activity. The dye-decolorizing activity paves the way for an industrial use of this peroxidase.
Degradation of lignin constitutes a key step in processing biomass to become useful monomers but it remains challenging. Compared to fungi, bacteria are much less characterized with respect to their lignin metabolism, although it is reported that many soil bacteria, especially actinomycetes, attack and solubilize lignin. In this work, we screened 43 filamentous actinomycetes by assaying their activity on chemically different substrates including a soluble and semi-degraded lignin derivative (known as alkali lignin or Kraft lignin), and we discovered a novel and valuable peroxidase activity produced by the recently classified actinomycete Nonomuraea gerenzanensis. Compared to known fungal manganese and versatile peroxidases, the stability of N. gerenzanensis peroxidase activity at alkaline pHs and its thermostability are significantly higher. From a kinetic point of view, N. gerenzanensis peroxidase activity shows a Km for H2O2 similar to that of Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Bjerkandera enzymes and a lower affinity for Mn2+, whereas it differs from the six Pleurotus ostreatus manganese peroxidase isoenzymes described in the literature. Additionally, N. gerenzanensis peroxidase shows a remarkable dye-decolorizing activity that expands its substrate range and paves the way for an industrial use of this enzyme. These results confirm that by exploring new bacterial diversity, we may be able to discover and exploit alternative biological tools putatively involved in lignin modification and degradation.

Abstract
Genome-wide analysis of fungal manganese transporters was undertaken, making use of whole genome sequences available in fungal databases. A repertoire of 281 putative manganese transporters was found in total across 26 fungal species representing 20 fungal orders. The process of gene duplication was apparently accompanied by gene loss events, and this resulted in a great variety of manganese transporters that can be observed in the genome of modern fungi. Eleven transporters belonging to gene families in which manganese transporters have been found were identified in the Phanerochaete chrysosporium genome. This whole set of transporters may cover the need of P. chrysosporium cells for manganese loading in and unloading out of the cytosol, thereby insuring manganese homeostasis. The tight control of intracellular Mn(2+) ion concentration is for instance of crucial importance for the control of lignin-degradative systems by saprotrophic fungi, and thereof the carbon cycle in forest ecosystems.
