Abstract
Phanerochaete chrysosporium degraded cellulose faster with organic nitrogen sources than with NH₄Cl. Simple and complex nitrogen sources added at the time of inoculation to N-limited cultures of P. chrysosporium, with glucose as carbon/energy source, transiently stimulated degradation of synthetic [¹⁴C]lignin to ¹⁴CO₂. The same nitrogen sources added 5 days after inoculation, when the cultures were entering secondary metabolism, delayed ¹⁴CO₂ production. The various N sources affected synthetic lignin degradation in defined medium differently than lignin degradation in aspen wood.
