PROCESS FOR ISOLATION AND ACCLIMATIZATION OF BACTERIA FOR LIGNIN DEGRADATION

摘要

The invention provides a novel process of lignin degradation using a consortium of bacteria. To date, biodegradation of lignin has been centered to fungi only. Degradation of lignin by bacteria confer a new understanding that may be of tremendous industrial significance. This invention also discloses the isolation and acclimatization of ligninolytic bacteria from a specific site
