Ligninolytic Activity of White Rot Fungi from GGV campus as Bioremediation of Organic Pollutants

Abstract

White rot fungi constitute a diverse physiological group are capable of transforming and
mineralizing a wide range of organopollutants. The Ligninolytic enzymes of white rot fungi are
substrate specific, essential for Lignin degradation and organic pollutant remediation. In the
present study white rot fungi were collected from the north region of Chhattisgarh of Guru
Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya (GGV) Campus. 40 species were collected and isolated then Qualitative
and Quantitative screening for the Ligninolytic enzyme assay were carried out. Out of 40 species,
5 species show potent Ligninolytic activity. In future we can utilize these fungi for the degradation
of organic pollutants.
