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
The biodegradation of lignin by fungi was studied in shake flasks using 14C-labeled kraft lignin and in a deep-tank fermentor using unlabeled kraft lignin. Among the fungi screened, A. furnigatus-isolated in our laboratorieswas most potent in lignin biotransformation. Dialysistype fermentation, desi
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
