Degradation Pathways of Kraft Lignin by Novosphingobium sp. THN1: Insights into Refractory Dissolved Organic Matter Transformation in Lake Ecosystems
Key Points
Kraft lignin degradation occurs through specific pathways identified in Novosphingobium sp. THN1, emphasizing its ecological role.
Among the identified pathways, the 16S rRNA sequencing showed that Novosphingobium sp. THN1 can degrade lignin effectively, impacting dissolved organic matter.
Analysis of lake ecosystems showed increased transformation of refractory organic matter due to the activity of Novosphingobium sp. THN1.
These findings highlight the importance of microbial degradation mechanisms in managing organic matter in aquatic environments.
