[Increase of the detoxification potential of basidiomycetes by induction of laccase biosynthesis].
The effect of oxidoreductase inducers guaiacol and syringaldazine on the ability of Coriolus hirsutus, Coriolopsis fulvocinerea, Cerrena maxima, and cocultivated Coriolus hirsutus/Cerrena maxima to degrade atrazine in submerged cultures was studied. All the basidiomycetes reduced atrazine concentration with and without syringaldazine or guaiacol. The degree of atrazine degradation was higher in induced cultures (77-98% vs. 68-94% without induction). Of the four cultures, the highest detoxifying potential was observed in Coriolopsis fulvocinerea with and without an inducer (98% with guaiacol), and the lowest was in Cerrena maxima. Inducers decreased the residual atrazine concentration differently in the different cultures. A long-term increase of laccase production was observed in both induced and uninduced cultures, whereas the activity of Mn-peroxidase decreased. The results indicate that laccase plays a larger role in atrazine biodegradation than Mn-peroxidase.
