| Research Abstract |
1 With a rotating disk bioreactor, the experiment to produce the enzyme -peroxidase-was carried out using a basidiomycete (Coprinus cinereus) culture. Using the crude peroxidase obtained, the treatments to remove nonylphenol and bisphenol A were optimized. Nonylphenol was degraded by an oxidative enzyme reaction, but the mechanism of degradation was different from that of bisphenol A. Bisphenol A was removed by the method of an oxidative polymerization and precipitation.
2 The subject of this research is to develop a bioremediation technique for the degradation of dioxins using new screened white rot fungi. The authors attempted to the screening of dioxin degradable microorganisms, and among 1000 strains, a new white rot fungus L-25 strain was screened due to its high degradability. Analyzing the 16rDNA-500 arrangement of this microorganism, we found that it was a new strain related to the genus Phanerochaete. The culture of this strain was carried out at various conditions, and a lot of manganese peroxidase was obtained. Furthermore, adding peptones, a high productivity was obtained, and 14 U/mL of manganese peroxidase was produced. In addition, using dioxins as a substrate and culturing this strain, it was found that more than 60 % of 1,3,7,8-tetrachlorodioxin or 1,2,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran with 100 ng/mL was degraded for one week. This rate of degradation for dioxins is faster than the previous reports.
