Decolorization by Thanatephorus Cucumeris Dec 1

Introduction

Decolorization by Thanatephorus cucumeris Dec 1 explores the innovative use of the newly isolated fungal strain Dec1 in the biodegradation of recalcitrant colored substances produced by various industries. The book details the purification and characterization of key enzymes responsible for Dec1's activity, including peroxidases, aryl alcohol oxidase, and the newly discovered TcVP1. It highlights the successful cloning and high-yield production of recombinant DyP (rDyP) through a transformed Aspergillus oryzae, as well as the development of an optimized immobilization and H2O2 supply system to prevent rDyP inactivation.

The application of Thanatephorus cucumeris Dec 1 in treating kraft pulp bleaching effluent is discussed, demonstrating its effectiveness in removing colored substances and chlorinated organic compounds. This book is an essential resource for students tackling environmental challenges and engineers focused on innovative microbial solutions for the treatment of colored industrial effluents.
