Abstract
The invention provides a novel process of lignin degradation using a consortium of bacteria. To date, biodegradation of lignin has been centered to fungi only. Degradation of lignin by bacteria confer a new understanding that may be of tremendous industrial significance. This invention also discloses the isolation and acclimatization of ligninolytic bacteria from a specific site.
Claims6
A consortium of ligninolytic bacteria for degradation of lignin, said consortium comprising three bacterial strains having accession numbers MTCC 5094, MTCC 5095 and MTCC 5098, which are respectively Serratia marcescens, Pseuodomonas aeruginosa and Pseuodomonas aeruginosa.
