Comparative growth of natural bacterial isolates on various lignin-related compounds.

Abstract:

:Bacterial strains were isolated on the basis of their ability to proliferate in a minimal medium containing one of a series of lignin-related compounds as the sole carbon and energy source. These included the aromatic monomers guaiacol, vanillic and coumaric acids, a dimer and a trimer possessing the arylglycerol-beta-aryl ether linkage, anisoin, and both the ether-soluble and -insoluble fractions of kraft lignin. The growth of the strains on each of these compounds was measured. The results showed that the metabolic properties of the strains varied according to the structure of the carbon sources used for their selection. Spectrophotometric tracings of the culture medium during the log phase of growth of one of the strains on the beta-O-4 dimer revealed decomposition with the release of guaiacol.
