A small-scale method for screening of lignin-degrading microorganisms.
A new method to facilitate rapid screening of lignin-degrading microorganisms was developed. Fungal strains are cultivated in tissue culture plates containing C-ring-labeled dehydrogenation polymerizate (DHP) (synthetic lignin). Evolved CO(2) is trapped in barium-saturated filter paper and is detected by exposing the paper to X-ray film. Analysis of the autoradiograms, carried out by density me...
متن کاملSimplified procedure for recovery of lignin acidolysis products for determining the lignin-degrading abilities of microorganisms.
A simplified procedure for the identification and measurement of single-ring aromatic products of lignin acidolysis is described. The procedure employed a 6-h hydrolysis of spruce milled wood lignin in acidic dioxane at 87 degrees C, followed by a series of organic extractions to recover acidolysis products which were quantified by gas chromatography of trimethylsilyl derivatives. Complex gel p...
متن کاملScreening and Separation of Microorganisms Degrading PCBs.
We performed an assay to assess the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) degradative capability and congener specificity of aerobic microorganisms. Microbial strains were isolated and separated from different types of soils in the Czech Republic, and their PCB-degrading abilities were compared. An industrial mixture of PCB congeners ranging from dichloro- to hexachlorobiphenyl and representing variou...
متن کاملIsolation and Preliminary Screening of Lignin Degrading Microbes
Isolation of lignin degrading microorganisms from cow dung, soil compost, and paper pulp effluent was carried out in the present investigation. Totally 9 isolates of lignin degrading microbes were isolated using minimal salt media containing lignin (MSM-L) and lignolytic activities were preliminary screened by testing against methylene blue indicator dye containing LB medium. Eight microbes sho...
متن کاملLignin-degrading enzymes
The substantial potential applications of lignin-degrading microbes and enzymes have spurred research on lignin biodegradation in recent years. As described here, that research has led to the discovery in the basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium of the first lignin-degrading enzymes and elucidation of their mode of action. A family of powerful extracellular peroxidase isoenzymes has been t...
