The group resources of white-rot fungus and the enzyme system’s characteristics for lignin degradation are introduced,and the catalytic mechanisms of the three enzymes including lignin peroxidase,manganese peroxidase,laccase are analyzed in detail.Moreover,the applications of different kinds of white-rot fungus,including biopulping,biobleaching and the treatment of effluent from paper-making,dyes,and so on are summarized.Based on the above discussion,some ideas about the further development of white-rot fungus are presented.
