PRACTICAL WALKTHROUGH · PARAMETERS · COMMON MISTAKES
Fungal mycoremediation uses ligninolytic enzymes from basidiomycetes to decompose lignocellulosic food waste into simpler compounds.
Origin: Traditional Asian cultures (Traditional to contemporary) — East Asia
See full technique reference →Lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, and laccase oxidatively cleave lignin and hemicellulose, generating phenolic acids and aldehydes that are further mineralized. The resulting breakdown products are converted to CO₂, water, and low‑molecular‑weight organic acids, reducing the mass and volume of waste.
Primary Reaction
Enzymatic oxidation of lignin and cellulose by lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, and laccase
