“…On the other hand, some authors identified that both co-cultures and axenic cultures were unable to degrade lignin with rates of 0%. This result can be due to the absence of ligninolytic potential (Karpe et al, 2014;Cui et al, 2015), the intensive holocellulose hydrolysis by the fungi (Carvalheiro et al, 1994;Ezeonu et al, 2016) or the sterilization with temperature and pressure variation (van Heerden et al, 2008), which caused a concomitant increase in the relative lignin content.…”

The lignocellulosic biomass is a highly abundant and renewable resource. However, its exploitation is limited by the recalcitrance of the lignin present in the plant cellwall. In the last three decades, fungal co-cultures have increasingly been applied to overcome lignin recalcitrance by enhancing the production of ligninolytic enzymes through microbial interactions. In this paper, we systematically compile studies on fungal co-cultures used in the degradation of lignin-containing substrates to clarify the advantages and limitations of this type of culture. Based on their different delignification rate potentials, co-cultures can be classified into synergistic, antagonistic, and neutral. Co-cultivation results are generally related to the balance or imbalance of antagonistic and synergistic effects arising from the specific compatibility between the species during the interaction. It is well known that the paired species and the microenvironmental system conditions are responsible for the reported degradations,however, the mechanisms underlying these interactions remain poorly understood. In conclusion, literature results demonstrate the promising application of fungalco-cultures in biotechnological sectors to improve the degradation of lignin and its derivatives, through their better understanding of the efficient exploitation ofbiological resources on ecological and industrial scales.

“…Moreover, oleaginous microorganisms are known to quickly accumulate oils, such as intracellular lipids with high lipid titer in the presence of carbohydrates [82]. Accordingly, VanHeerden et al [83] observed that a co-culture of Aspergillus flavipes and Pycnoporus sanguineus ameliorated the pulping properties of Eucalyptus grandis and caused cellulose degradation. Bootten et al [84] suggested that the co-culture of Piromyces communis, Neocallimastic frontalis, and Caecomyces communis, three rumen fungi, enhanced alfalfa hay, a complex structure of xylan, cellulose, lignin, conversion.…”

“…P. sanguineus was found to degrade holocellulose and lignin from week 1 to 8, but the contents of these components were increased after 16 weeks of incubation. The observed increase of lignin may be because of removal cellulose and other biodegradable components, resulting in relative increase in polyphenolic compounds (van Heerden et al 2008).…”

White rot fungi can be used as a pretreatment of biomass to degrade lignin. It also alters the structure of the lignocellulosic matter, thus increasing its accessibility to enzymes able to convert polysaccharides into simple sugars. This study compares the ability of two species of white rot fungi, Pycnoporous sanguineus and Oxyporus latemarginatus FRIM 31, to degrade lignin in kenaf chips. The white rot fungi were originally isolated from the tropical forest in Malaysia. Kenaf chips were first inoculated with each fungus separately using corn steep liquor as a fungal growth promoter. The kenaf chips were inoculated with white rot fungus for a period of 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 weeks, after which they were observed under the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Chemical analyses were conducted following TAPPI Standard Methods and Fourier Transmission Infra Red (FTIR). SEM observations showed evidence of fungal colonization. When calculating weight loss, both P. sanguineus and O. latemarginatus FRIM 31 showed the greatest reduction. Amounts by mass of cellulose, hemicelluloses, extractives, and lignin in the treated kenaf chips all were lowered. The results show that O. latemarginatus FRIM 31 had a greater ability to degrade lignin when compared to P. sanguineus .
