Description
Fungal mycoremediation uses ligninolytic enzymes from basidiomycetes to decompose lignocellulosic food waste into simpler compounds.
Technical
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.
Science
Primary Reaction
Enzymatic oxidation of lignin and cellulose by lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, and laccase
