본 연구에서는 백색부후균 Abortiporus biennis를 이용하여 유기용매 리그닌의 생물학적 변환을 시도함으로써, 생물학적 변환 기작을 이해하고, 상업적 활용을 위해 유기용매 리그닌의 저분자화를 유도하고자 하였다. 질소제한 배지에서 A. biennis는 주로 유기용매 리그닌의 중합반응을 유도하면서, 분자량을 급격히 증가시켰으며, 배양일에 따라 구조적 차이를 야기하였다. 배양 초기, ether 결합의 분해를 통해 phenolic OH 함량이 증가한 반면, 배양 후기에는 ether 결합이 증가함에 따라 phenolic OH 함량이 감소하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로, 유기용매 리그닌의 탈중합을 유도하기 위해 환원제인 ascorbic acid를 첨가하여 유기용매 리그닌의 구조 변화 및 변환 산물을 분석하였다. 결과적으로, 환원제의 첨가에 의해 유기용매 리그닌의 분자량은 소폭 증가하였지만, 환원제 무첨가 실험에 비해 그 증가 폭이 현저히 감소하였다. 또한 배양액 내 리그닌 올리고머의 경우, 배양 10일째 환원제를 첨가한 실험구에서 중량 평균 분자량 381 Da, phenolic OH 함량 38.63%을 나타냈으며, 이는 저분자화된 형태로 상업적 활용 가치가 높다고 사료된다. 결론적으로, A. biennis의 효소 시스템은 유기용매 리그닌의 분해보다 중합을 야기하였으며, 환원제의 첨가를 통해 배양액 내 리그닌 올리고머의 저분자화 및 phenolic OH 함량 증가를 유도할 수 있었다.

Kraft Lignin which is produced abundantly in pulp industry, was chemically degraded into small oligomers and polymerized using horseradish peroxidase. Lignin acidolysis was optimized by controlling reaction time and HCI concentration. Acidolyzed lignin was polymerized and copolymers of acidolyzed lignin and phenol or p-cresol were synthesized. 70% of kraft lignin was degraded after acidolysis. Number average molecular weight of all lignin polymers were from 8,500 to 14,000 and did not show large difference. Differential scanning calorimeter analysis showed that acidolyzed lignin did not show any melting temparature under $300^{\circ}C$, which indicates that newly synthesized lignin polymers can be used in industry under mild condition.

The word of lignin is derived from the Latin word 'ligum' meaning wood. Lignin is complex polymer consisting of coniferyl alcohol, sinapyl alcohol and p-coumaryl alcohol unit and has an amorphous, three dimensional network structure which is hard to be hydrolyzed by acid. Lignin is found in the cell wall of plants lignified. The mode of polymerization of these alcohols in the cell wall lead to a heterogeneous branched and cross-linked polymer in which phenyl propane units are linked by carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen bonds. This polymerization of precursors, p-coumaryl alcohol, coniferyl alcohol and sinapyl alcohol to lignin is formed by enzymic dehydrolyzation. The reaction is initiated by an electron transfer which results in the formation of resonance-stabilized phenoxy radical. The combination of these radicals produces a variety of dimers, trimers and oligomers and so on. Lignin research has been divided into basic and practical application field. The basic studies contains biosynthesis, chemical structure, distribution in the cell wall and reactivity by reductants, oxidants and organic solvents. The application research will be approached the reaction of lignin in various pulp making involving pulp bleaching and its effect on pulp qualities. Lignin also will be studied for the production of fine chemicals, polymer products and the conservation into an energy source like petroleum oil because the amount of lignin produced in pulp making process is more than 51,000,000 tons per year in the world. Both basic and application research must lay emphasis on the development for the utilization of lignin and the pulping process. But these researches can not be completed without understanding lignin structure containing functional groups. Therefore, this paper was focused on the review of lignin formulation which has been studied since 1948 in chronological order. This review was based on monomers, dimers, trimers and tetramers of phenyl propane unit structures which were isolated and identified by different methods from various wood.ious wood.
