V. Regalado et al., LIGNIN DEGRADATION AND MODIFICATION BY THE SOIL-INHABITING FUNGUS FUSARIUM-PROLIFERATUM, Applied and environmental microbiology, 63(9), 1997, pp. 3716-3718
A soil-inhabiting Fusarium proliferatum strain was capable of transfor
ming or degrading nonlabeled and C-14-labeled industrial, natural, and
synthetic lignin. The mineralization rate per day (expressed as the p
ercentage of added radioactivity recovered as to (CO2)-C-14) was maxim
al during primary metabolism.
