Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the utilization of microorganism to a wood-utilizing industries such as wood-saccharification process, by using a newly separated novel lignin-decomposition microbial strain NK-1148 having high lignin-decomposition activity and capable of selectively decomposing lignin. CONSTITUTION:A novel lignin-decomposition microbial strain NK-1148 (FERM P-9384) is inoculated in a medium such as potato-glucose agar medium containing a woody raw material and is incubated at an optimum temperature of 28-37 deg.C or thereabout for a prescribed period while keeping the pH of the medium to about 4-6. The NK-1148 strain has exceedingly high lignin- decomposition activity and lignin-selective and, accordingly, it is especially suitable for a mass-production using a large-sized tank and the treating time can be shortened. Since a delicate operation is not necessary in wood- saccharification industry, etc., the present process is especially suited for industrial use. It can be advantageously applied to a field for utilizing a cellulosic biomass such as wood or to a paper and pulp manufacturing process. The present invention is the first process to enable the industrial use of lignin decomposition.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems and obtain microorganisms that have particularly excellent lignin decomposition ability and selectivity for lignin decomposition and can withstand industrial use, we have to fundamentally change the idea of simply screening existing microorganisms. We have come to the conclusion that it is necessary to change to I realized that the only way to obtain industrially useful bacteria capable of achieving the above objectives was to newly isolate and screen previously unknown new microorganisms.

In search of the target new microorganism, the inventors M and colleagues first collected a wide range of isolation sources, including forests, fields, wild grasslands, and other sources both inside and outside the country. Regarding the screening method, in addition to conventionally known methods, the present inventors have previously invented a method (Japanese Patent Application No. 61-281668) that efficiently assays for lignin-degrading bacteria from natural samples such as decaying wood. We carried out an intensive search using these methods. In other words, we were able to search for and isolate powerful lignin-degrading bacteria by combining a huge number of isolation sources and a new assay method.
