No. 1-281668), we carried out an intensive search using a method that efficiently assays lignin-degrading bacteria from natural samples such as decayed wood. 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.
