Requirement for a growth substrate during lignin decomposition by two wood-rotting fungi

T K Kirk et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1976 Jul.

Abstract

Decomposition of C-labeled lignin to CO(2) by the lignin-decomposing fungi Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Coriolus versicolor required a growth substrate such as cellulose or glucose. Growth with lignin as sole carbon addition to an otherwise complete medium was negligible.
