Abstract
- Lignin-decomposing ability of several bacteria and the degradation mechanism have been revealed in vitro. However, the abundance of such bacteria in decayed wood in nature remains unknown at genus and species levels. This study was aimed at identifying bacterial communities in the decayed wood coexisting with white-rot fungi, which play a potential role in lignin degradation, and predicting the functional profile of bacterial lignin degradation in wood via bacterial community analyses. The bacterial flora of forest soil and four decayed wood samples showed marked differences; particularly, in addition to Methylobacterium and Acidibrevibacterium, sphingomonads, which degrade the major skeleton of lignin in vitro, were more abundant in the decayed wood than in forest soil, suggesting that multiple bacteria were involved in lignin degradation. The bacterial community in the decayed wood was more influenced by wood type and lignin structure than the fungal species observed in the decayed wood.
