| Research Abstract |
The environmental factors influencing the growth characterization of the white rot fungus P.chrysosporium, the degradation of several kinds of recalcitrant substance, and the activities of extracellular enzymes were investigated by batch culture experiments. The possibility of applying this fungus for the removal of the recalcitrant substance from contaminated soil were also evaluated.
Main results were summarized as follows ;
1) The temperature and pH effect the growth of the P.chrysosporium significantly, and the presence of vitamins especially, thiamin was necessary for its growth.
2) LiP activity appeared after glucose depletion, MnP appeared after glucose or nitrogen depletion. Higher LiP activity was obtained by increasing the nitrogen concentration.
3) Amino acid, NO_3^-, NH can be used as nitrogen source of P.chrysosporium, but NH_4^+ was proved to be the best.
4) The polyurethane foam was found to be the best carrier of P.chrysosporium according to the results of ligninase production. And P.chrysosporium can grow without addition of medium when immobilized on aspen chips.
5) LiP and MnP production was obtained in the batch reactor using P.chrysosporium immobilized on polyurethane foam.
6) 1,000mg/L of heavy oil A was degraded by the extracellular enzymes in liquid medium.
7) P.chrysosporium was inoculated soils contaminated by heavy oil A, the concentration of oil in soil was measured. The oil was degraded, but the rate was slower than in the case of liquid medium.
These results suggest the possibility of decontamination of soils by P.chrysosporium.
