As of today, the preliminary procedures of the project have being started, that include Phanerochaete chrysosporium culture preparation.  Materials and equipment necessary to start the experimental procedures has been ordered and I am waiting for their arrival.  For this reason, the level of progress of my project is still a 2 since the essential equipment has yet to arrive.  When I get to start the experimental procedures, we expect to identify those proteins that show an increase in expression after pellet size reduction.  This would increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of industrial bioprocesses that use fillamentous fungi.  Harvesting the white-rot fungi in a large-scale process is neccesary for use as toxic chemical  and lignin degradation for fuel production and waste disposal.
