Abstract
The bioconversion of phenolic monomers of lignin (veratrol, vanillin, and vanillyl alcohol), hydrolyzed lignin, and sodium lignosulfonate (a product of the chemical modification of native lignin) by the basidiomycete Lentinus tigrinus was studied. It was found that the growth of the fungi on lignin monomer compounds is suppressed. A noticeable growth of the fungal biomass was observed only on the technical substrate sodium lignosulfonate. A comprehensive physicochemical study of the products of microbial transformation of sodium lignosulfonate was performed. It was established that the main direction of lignin bioconversion is oxidative condensation to form humic substances. In this case, depolymerization of the phenolic skeleton of lignin to monomeric phenol derivatives did not occur. The aromatic carbon atoms of the phenolic skeleton, unlike the carbon atoms of polysaccharides, were not involved in the fungal biomass growth. The observed growth of the fungus on the technical substrate sodium lignosulfonate can be explained by the presence of admixtures of oligomeric polysaccharides hemicellulose and cellulose, which can be used by the fungus as a carbon source.
