Several Nocardia and Pseudomonas spp., as well as some unidentified bacteria, isolated from lake water containing high loads of waste lignin, were tested for their capacity to release ~4CO2 from specifically 14C-labelled dehydropolymer of coniferyl alcohol (DHP) or corn stalk lignins. The bacteria w

Of eight white-rot fungi examined, seven fungi grew on nitrogen-limited poplar wood meal medium and degraded 14C-lignin in wood meal to 14CO2. Increased oxygen enhanced both the rate and extent of degradation. However, whereas Pleurotus ostreatus, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus 115 and Pycnoporus cinnabari
A Gram-positive bacterium which was isolated from a Finnish soil and identified as a Nocardia sp., was able to decompose lignin and to assimilate lignin degradation products as a carbon source. It could release 14COz from 14C-labelled methoxyl groups, side chains or ring carbons of coniferyl alcohol
