Isolation of potential ligninolytic organisms

Organisms were isolated from soil, bark, ret liquor and other sources by enrichment on Klason lignin or guaiacol. The isolates were screened for their ability to assimilate various phenolic compounds, including methoxylated aromatic compounds, and extracellular production of polygalacturonase, pecti...

Description
Summary:Organisms were isolated from soil, bark, ret liquor and other sources by enrichment on Klason lignin or guaiacol. The isolates were screened for their ability to assimilate various phenolic compounds, including methoxylated aromatic compounds, and extracellular production of polygalacturonase, pectinesterase and laccase. Most of the isolates were found to assimilate pectin as a sole source of carbon.
