Isolation and Preliminary Screening of Lignin Degrading Microbes
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 showed positive results and the predominant isolates were identified as Pseudomonas sp. The findings indicated that Pseudomonas sp. has significant potential for use in the applications for the treatment of lignin degradation and lignin related environment pollutants.

The Discovery and Promise of Lignin-degrading Enzymes
This paper briefly summarizes our research at the U.S. Forest Products Laboratory aimed at understanding how lignin is degraded by microorganisms. Our ultimate purpose is to gain the background knowledge needed to use lignin-degrading microbes and their enzymes in wood processing. Today such research would fall within the realm of biotechnology, although when we started that word had not yet be...
متن کاملLignin-degrading peroxidases from the genome of the selective ligninolytic fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora*
Background: The first genome of a selective lignin-degrader is available. Results: Its screening shows 26 peroxidase genes, and five were heterologously expressed and catalytic properties investigated. Conclusion: Two new peroxidases oxidize simple and dimeric lignin models and efficiently depolymerize lignin. Significance: Although lignin peroxidase and versatile peroxidase had not been report...
متن کاملIsolation of a bacterium capable of degrading peanut hull lignin.
Thirty-seven bacterial strains capable of degrading peanut hull lignin were isolated by using four types of lignin preparations and hot-water-extracted peanut hulls. One of the isolates, tentatively identified as Arthrobacter sp., was capable of utilizing all four lignin preparations as well as extracted peanut hulls as a sole source of carbon. The bacterium was also capable of degrading specif...

In this study, screening and isolation of xylano-cellulolytic enzymes producing positive microbes from termitarium and termite gut microbiome were done using cost-effective agricultural wastes. The enrichment of xylano-cellulolytic microbes was done in three steps using wheat bran and waste paper. The qualitative screening of xylanase and cellulase producing micro-organisms was done on nutrient...
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...
