[Optimization of synthetic culture condition on lignin biodegradation ability of alkaliphilic ligninolytic bacteria using orthogonal experimental design]

The effects of seven single culture factors on lignin biodegradation ability of alkaliphilic ligninolytic bacteria strain 6 in alkaline liquid medium (pH approximately 10.5) with compounded carbons were optimized using orthogonal experiments. The result showed the seven single culture factors promote the activities of Laccase and MnP and the degradation rate of wheat straw lignin in varying degrees. The synthetic result was analysised. The optimal synthetic condition was static culture (10 days culture period), 37 degrees C, the initial pH10.6, 1 g/L sugar (the starting carbons), wheat straw lignin (the second carbons, wheat straw powder 20 g/L, added into on the fourth day after inoculation), 1.2 g/L NH4NO3 (nitrogen), 0.3% detergent T-80, 70 ml medium/250 ml flask.
