Lignin degradation

Lignin are polymeric, non-carbohydrates containing parahydroxy phenyl propanes & are derived from shikimic acid. The examples of microbes involved in lignin degradation are:-

 

 

Fungi                                                               Bacteria

  • Agaricus                                              1) Arthrobacter
  • Armillaria                                              2) Flavobacterium
  • Clavaria                                               3) Micrococcus
  • Cortinellus                                            4) Pseudomonas
  • Ganoderma                                          5) Xanthomonas
  • Mycena
  • Pleurotus
  • Polyporous
  • Lycoperdon

 

After ring opening the Protocatechuic acid may produce acetic acid, succinic acid or pyruvic acids which ultimately produce CH4, CO2& H2O etc. after mineralization.

Enzymes involved:

  • Lignase
  • Phenol oxidase
  • Lactose
  • Peroxidase enzyme
