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
