From 30 actinomycete cultures isolated by enrichment technique on agar media containing newsprint as a primary C and energy source, 3 Streptomyces strains were selected for characterization of their lignocellulose-decomposing abilities. All 3 streptomycetes were capable of oxidizing specifically 14C-labeled lignocelluloses to 14CO2. These Streptomyces attacked primarily the cellulosic (glucan) components, of which between 25-40% evolved as 14CO2 during 1025 h of incubation depending upon the culture used. Lignin-labeled lignocelluloses were also attacked, but to a lesser degree, with up to about 3.5% being oxidized to 14CO2 depending upon the culture used. Purified 14C-labeled milled-wood lignin was attacked, with recoveries of up to 17.7% of the label as 14CO2. This is the 1st conclusive evidence to show that streptomycetes can decompose lignin.
