Abstract

To obtain white rot fungi which have selective delignification capacity and can be used in biopulping processes, 94 different wood rotting fungi were screened and the capabilities of selected species were evaluated on deciduous and coniferous wood blocks. White rot fungi, first of all, were selected by simple enzyme tests, i.e., cellulase activity test; phenol oxidase activity test; laccase and peroxidase activity test. Most organisms that gave a positive Bavendamm gave a strongly positive laccase test with syringaldazine whereas most of those that gave a negative Bavendamm test also negative test for laccase and peroxidase, even if some exceptions were noted. Wood decay experiement were carried out to select fungal species with selective lignin-degrading ability by inoculating selected fungi to both wood blocks of Populus tomentiglandulosa and Larix leptolepis. After 12 weeks of incubation, weight losses, lignin losses, and morphological characteristics of the decayed wood were investigated. Almost all fungi tested caused 2 or more times of weight losses in P. tomentiglandulosa than in L. leptolepis, while no weight losses were detected from the un-inoculated wood blocks. Ceriporiopsis subvermispora and Phanerochaete chrysosporium were the best delignifiers for both hardwood and softwood. P. chrysosporium, however, was less effective than C. subvermispora. Bjerkandera adusta and two unidentified spp. caused delignification for only P. tomentiglandulosa. B. adusta caused simultaneous rot of all cell wall components, resulted in thinning of the secondary cell wall layers. Other fungi caused selective delignification resulting in the removal of lignin from middle lamella and separation of cells from each other.

선택적 리그닌 분해능을 가지고 생물펄프공정에 사용가능한 백색부후균을 얻기 위하여 94종류의 목재부후균을 검정하였고 선발된 7개종에 대하여 활엽수와 침엽수의 부후능력을 측정하였다. 우선 백색부후균은 셀룰로오즈 분해효소, 페놀산화효소, laccase, peroxidase 등의 효소활성을 간단한 방법으로 검정하여 선발하였는데, Bavendamm test에서 양성을 나타내는 대부분의 균들은 syringaldazine을 사용한 laccase test에서도 강한 반응을 나타낸 반면, 음성반응을 나타낸 대부분의 균들은 laccase와 peroxidase test에서도 음성반응을 나타내었다. 선택적 리그닌 분해능력을 지닌 부후균을 선발하기 위하여 부후균을 은사시나무와 일본잎갈나무(낙엽송) 목재블럭에 접종하여 12주간 배양한 후에 부후된 목재의 중량감소율, 리그닌 량의 감소, 형태적 변화들을 화학분석과 주사전자현미경을 통하여 분석하는 목재부후 실험을 실시하였다. 이 실험에서 사용한 거의 모든 균주는 목재블럭의 중량감소율이 일본잎갈나무 보다 은사시나무에서 2배이상 높게 나타났으며 균을 접종하지 않은 목재블럭에서는 중량감소가 전혀 나타나지 않았다. Ceriporiopsis subvermispora와 Phanerochaete chrysosporium이 다른 균주에 비해서 침엽수와 활엽수의 리그닌을 모두 잘 분해시키는 것으로 나타났으나 분해 능력은 Ceriporiopsis subvermispora가 더욱 우수하였다. Bjerkandera adusta와 미동정된 2균주는 은사시나무에서만 상대적으로 높은 리그닌 분해능력을 나타내었다. B. adusta는 모든 세포벽 성분을 동시에 분해시켜서 2차세포벽을 얇게 만들었으나 다른 균주들은 선택적 리그닌 분해력을 나타내어 두 세포의 세포벽 사이에 위치하는 중벽에 존재하는 리그닌을 분해시켜서 세포를 분리시키는 것이 관찰되었다.
