Construction of white-rot fungal-bacterial consortia with improved ligninolytic properties and stable bacterial community structure.

ABSTRACT: It is believed that wood-rot fungi change their wood decay activities due to influences from co-existing bacterial communities; however, it is difficult to elucidate experimentally the interaction mechanisms in fungal-bacterial consortia because the bacterial community structure is quite unstable and readily changes. Indeed, the wood decay properties of fungal-bacterial consortia consisting of a white-rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 and a natural bacterial community changed dramatically during several sub-cultivations on wood. Therefore, development of a sub-cultivation method that imparts stability to the bacterial community structure and fungal phenotype was attempted. The adopted method using agar medium enabled maintenance of fungal phenotypes relating to wood decay and the bac
