  • Method for overproducing specific recombinant protein with monokaryotic strains
    Patent number: 8481706
    Abstract: The use of monokaryotic strains of filamentous fungi of the Pycnoporus species of the basidiomycete group, for implementing a method for preparing a specific recombinant protein, the method being carried out by overexpressing the gene encoding the protein in the Pycnoporus monokaryotic strain.

  • Phanerochaete chrysospoirium strains CNCM I-1511, I-1512 and I-1513 for producing lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase
    Patent number: 5972672
    Abstract: Phanerochaete chrysosporium strains CNCM numbers I-1511, I-1512 and I-1513 are found that produce increased amounts of manganese peroxidase (MnP) and lignin peroxidase (LiP). Immobilized cells may be used for culturing, and culture media is preferably supplemented with a phospholipid as a carbon source and/or veratryl alcohol to stabilize enzymes produced. Culturing conditions can be selected to modify the MnP/LiP ratio in favor of the production of MnP or LiP.
