Abstract
The ability of the actinomycetes of the genus Actinomyces flavescens G V1 for destruction of natural and chemically modified lignins was inve stigated. Growth of the culture on natural lignocellulose (corn straw) was accompanied by accumulation of water-soluble acid-precipitable po lymer lignin in the nutrient medium. It was established that the ligni nolytic activity of A. flavescens may be intensified by adding inducer s of an aromatic nature (veratryl alcohol, eugenol, syringic acid) to the nutrient medium.
