Overview

Evaluates the potential of native anaerobic bacteria to enhance methane production from lignocellulosic waste, suggesting effective bioaugmentation.

Key Points

  • The aim is to identify and assess native anaerobic bacterial strains capable of degrading lignin and enhancing methane production from lignocellulosic substrates.
  • Isolated bacterial cultures from soil and wastewater.
  • Developed anaerobic cultures using lignin and p-coumaric acid.
  • Screened strains for ligninolytic activity and growth rates.
  • Conducted enzyme activity assays for lignin peroxidase and laccase.
  • Performed biomethane potential batch tests.
  • All isolated strains degraded p-coumaric acid, with a maximum biomass concentration of 387 mg L−1.
  • Nine strains grew on kraft lignin, with the highest growth reaching 55 mg L−1.
  • Enzyme assays indicated lignin peroxidase up to 2.10 U mL−1 and laccase up to 0.15 U mL−1.
  • The best performing culture achieved a bioaugmentation percentage of 174% for methane production.
