Summary: Secondary metabolites of traditional Chinese herbs can effectively induce laccase production in white rot fungi, with emodin identified as a potent inducer. Emodin may affect the expression of laccase genes through three mechanisms: reducing bioenergy productivity, the AHR/XRE pathway, and the Nrf2/ARE pathway. Additionally, emodin could reduce ATP synthesis by lowering mitochondrial membrane potential, leading to subsequent responses.

Summary: This study found that Trametes versicolor K1 isolated from palm bark can produce a yellow non-glycosylated laccase and a blue glycosylated laccase in tomato waste and glucose medium, respectively. However, when using lignocellulosic biomass such as pinecones, palm leaves, olive pomace, and alfa stems as growth medium, the laccase production was very low or almost absent. Additionally, the laccase activity in TMT medium increased significantly when peptone was supplied and the culture volume was increased.

Summary: This study investigated the fermentation conditions for Trametes versicolor to degrade aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in corn and its effect on the nutritional composition of corn. The optimal conditions for AFB1 degradation were determined, and the fermentation of AFB1-contaminated corn by T. versicolor was found to not only efficiently degrade AFB1 but also improve the nutritional value of corn. These findings suggest that the fermentation of corn by T. versicolor is a promising, environmentally friendly, and efficient approach to degrade AFB1 and improve the nutritional value of corn.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of gold nanoparticles on the structure and activity of laccase from Trametes versicolor. It is found that the concentration of nanoparticles and the composition of the medium affect the secondary structure of the enzyme. The binding of nanoparticles leads to conformational changes, and the activity of the enzyme is enhanced at low concentrations of nanoparticles but reduced at high concentrations. The thermal parameters are improved at low nanoparticle concentrations, while the activation energy increases with nanoparticle content. The study also explores the effect of nanoparticles on the decomposition of a recalcitrant dye.

Summary: Naturally-occurring phenolic acids act as humic precursors in laccase-triggered humification processes, influencing the conversion kinetics and humification routes of steroidal estrogens. Phenolic acids containing O-dihydroxy moieties inhibit estrogen humification, while laccase-induced oxidative coupling results in the formation of oligomers and polymers. This study provides insights into the humification pathways and mechanisms, highlighting the environmental benefits and carbon sequestration potential of the humified products.

Summary: A Trametes versicolor isolate from the Changbai Mountain showed effective degradation activity for benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a high molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compound. Through genomic analysis and transcriptomic/proteomic studies, a BaP-responsive laccase, TvLac5, was identified and found to have a 21-fold higher degradation activity for BaP compared to other homologous laccases, as well as a 3.6-fold higher activity than a commercial laccase product derived from T. versicolor.

Summary: Millions of tonnes of tyre waste are discarded annually and considered difficult to recycle, leading researchers to explore biodegradation of vulcanised rubber using microorganisms. Fungal strains like Trametes versicolor and Pleurotus ostreatus showed promising biodegradation capabilities, supported by genetic and bioinformatics tools for deeper analysis of the process. Enzyme activities of laccases and manganese peroxidases were significantly increased in cultures with rubber particles, indicating potential for more efficient biotechnological solutions in the future.

Summary: This work presents studies on the photochemical transformations of TU and Cys with the addition of Cu(II) or Fe(III) ions. The results show that the oxidation rate of the thiols increases significantly when Cu(II) or Fe(III) ions are added to the system. It has also been found that TU and Cys can form stable complex compounds with the studied metal ions. The oxidation rates of the thiols are found to depend on the radiation intensity and emission spectrum of the irradiation sources.

Summary: The structure and electrochemical properties of zinc(II) complexes with a face-capping ligand have been investigated, revealing the effect of the ligand on bound semiquinonate (SQ) radicals. The substitution pattern of the SQ ring plays a crucial role in determining the fate of the bound SQ radicals. Additionally, the protective pocket formed by the ligand's phenyl substituents is unable to prevent decomposition of SQ radicals with minimal steric bulk, suggesting that substitution of the SQ ring is the main contributor to their stabilization.

Summary: In this article, the synthesis and characterization of copper, nickel, and palladium complexes bound by bidentate ligands derived from ortho-phenylenediamine are described. The complexes contain tunable H-bond donors and their crystal structures reveal intramolecular H-bonding interactions between the ligand scaffolds. Variations in the coordination sphere led to the isolation of the complexes in square-planar or twisted pseudo-tetrahedral geometries. Structural analysis showed that intramolecular H-bonding interactions can be altered by disrupting the bonds between countercations, solvent of crystallization, and ligand scaffold, resulting in changes in the geometry of the complexes. DFT calculations confirmed that Cu complexes prefer twisted geometries while Ni and Pd complexes favor square-planar geometries.
