Abstract

Abstract-Physiological and biochemical properties of the strain Penicillium tardum H-2, a degrader of phenolic compounds formed during lignin pyrolysis, have been characterized. The micromycete P. tardum H-2 can consume phenol, pyrocatechol, p-cresol, vanillin, and guaiacum resin. When grown in a medium containing the water-soluble fraction of lignin pyrolysis waste at concentrations from 0.5 to 2%, it consumes 62-72% of the phenolic components of the waste. According to gas-liquid chromatography, cultivation of P. tardum H-2 in a medium with liquid pyrolysis products results in a complete consumption of the phenol-cresol fraction.
