Abstract
Phanerochaete chrysosporium degraded cellulose faster with organic nitrogen sources than with NH4Cl. Simple and complex nitrogen sources added at the time of inoculation to N-limited cultures of P. chrysosporium, with glucose as carbon/energy source, transiently stimulated degradation of synthetic [14C]lignin to 14CO2. The same nitrogen sources added 5 days after inoculation, when the cultures were entering secondary metabolism, delayed 14CO2 production. The various N sources affected synthetic lignin degradation in defined medium differently than lignin degradation in aspen wood.
