fungal enzymes

[tree79]

Hi All

 

Can anyone tell me what the 6 classes of enzymes, that are used by fungi for wood degradation are called please?

 

Been looking on the web, but without buying expensive (which may or may not say) I cant see any info. only found cellulases

 

 

many thanks for your help, in advance

You'd be looking at the lignolytic and cellulolytic enzymes. E.g. laccase, tyrosinase, etc.

 

Do you really have to go into that much depth in that particular question?

I expect that the localised secretion of hydrogen peroxide would be another depolymerisation mechanism in the brown rots.

[Kveldssanger]

"Laccases, lignin peroxi-dases (LIPs), and manganese-dependent peroxidases (MNPs) are three classes of lignin-modifying enzymes that are believed to be important in the fungal degradation of lignin by white rot fungi"

From the book 'Fungal Enzymes' by Maria de Lourdes T. M. Polizeli, Mahendra Rai

 

These are 'some' of the enzymes listed, worth your while taking the time to research them individually to understand their place in the breakdown process.

 

Invertase, cellulase, hemicellulase, pectinase, protease, laccase, phytase.

Think I might buy that book at some point. It's very detailed!

Use Google Scholar. I found countless articles just searching 'fungal enzymes wood decay'.
