  • Title: Metabolism of Radiolabeled beta-Guaiacyl Ether-Linked Lignin Dimeric Compounds by Phanerochaete chrysosporium.
    Author: Weinstein DA, Krisnangkura K, Mayfield MB, Gold MH.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 1980 Mar; 39(3):535-40. PubMed ID: 16345527.
    Abstract:
    Phanerochaete chrysosporium metabolized the radiolabeled lignin model compounds [gamma-C]guaiacylglycerol-beta-guaiacyl ether and [4-methoxy-C]veratrylglycerol-beta-guaiacyl ether (VI) to CO(2) in stationary and in shaking cultures. CO(2) evolution was greater in stationary culture. CO(2) evolution from [gamma-C]guaiacyl-glycerol-beta-guaiacyl ether and [4-methoxy-C]veratrylglycerol-beta-guaiacyl ether in stationary cultures was two- to threefold greater when 100% O(2) rather than air (21% O(2)) was the gas phase above the cultures. CO(2) evolution from the metabolism of the substrates occurred only as the culture entered the stationary phase of growth. The presence of substrate levels of nitrogen in the medium suppressed CO(2) evolution from both substrates in stationary cultures. [C]veratryl alcohol and 4-ethoxy-3-methoxybenzyl alcohol were formed as products of the metabolism of VI and 4-ethoxy-3-methoxyphenylglycerol-beta-guaiacyl ether, respectively.
