Increasing discharge and improper management of liquid and solid industrial wastes have created a great concern among industrialists and the scientific community over their economic treatment and safe disposal. White rot fungi (WRF) are versatile and robust organisms having enormous potential for oxidative bioremediation of a variety of toxic chemical pollutants due to high tolerance to toxic substances in the environment. WRF are capable of mineralizing a wide variety of toxic xenobiotics due to non-specific nature of their extracellular lignin mineralizing enzymes (LMEs). In recent years, a lot of work has been done on the development and optimization of bioremediation processes using WRF, with emphasis on the study of their enzyme systems involved in biodegradation of industrial pollutants. Many new strains have been identified and their LMEs isolated, purified and characterized. In this review, we have tried to cover the latest developments on enzyme systems of WRF, their low molecular mass mediators and their potential use for bioremediation of industrial pollutants.

白腐真菌及其酶系统对工业污染物的生物降解研究进展。

液体和固体工业废物的排放增加和管理不当，已经引起工业家和科学界对其经济处理和安全处置的极大关注。白腐真菌（WRF）是一种多功能而坚固的生物，由于对环境中的有毒物质具有高度耐受性，因此具有对多种有毒化学污染物进行氧化生物修复的巨大潜力。由于其细胞外木质素矿化酶（LME）的非特异性，WRF能够使多种有毒的异种生物矿化。近年来，在开发和优化使用WRF的生物修复工艺方面已进行了大量工作，重点是研究其与工业污染物生物降解有关的酶系统。已经鉴定出许多新菌株，并分离，纯化和表征了它们的LME。在这篇综述中，我们试图介绍WRF酶系统的最新进展，它们的低分子量介体及其在工业污染物生物修复中的潜在用途。
