Unlabelled: Dye-contaminated industrial effluents pose a serious environmental impact and need immediate attention. Due to the significant role of Dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) producing ligninolytic bacteria in the degradation of various industrial dyes, ligninolytic bacteria were isolated from Similipal Biosphere Reserve, Odisha, and screened for their DyP activities. Six out of 12 isolated bacteria (SDP1-12) showed DyP activity.

The magnitude of the global fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) generated and its contribution to environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions are alarming and necessitate appropriate remediation measures. In addition to typical FVW applications such as landfilling and manure production, our previous article critically explored the added value of FVWs for producing enzymes and organic acids by deploying various microbial processes. However, with the advancement of novel solid-state fermentation (SSF) technology, several products (other than enzymes and organic acids) have been developed from FVWs.

Lignin peroxidase (LiP) is a haem-containing microbial ligninolytic enzyme that has gained much attention for its potential application to degrade industrial effluents. In the current study, seven fungi (SLF1-7) showing ligninolytic activity were isolated from Similipal forest soil, and screened for LiP activity. SLF3 showed the highest LiP activity (3.

In the present study, 15 ligninolytic bacteria were isolated from the soil sample of Similipal Biosphere Reserve (SBR) and screened for MnP activity. The most efficient MnP-producing bacterium HNB5 was evaluated for alkali lignin and maillard reaction products (MRPs) degradation and identified as using 16S rRNA sequencing.

Many bacteria secrete enzymes to lyse lignin, which can be essential to ease the production of bioethanol. Current research focused on the study of ligninolytic bacteria capable of producing lignin peroxidase (LiP) which can help in lignin biodegradation and bioethanol production.
