Microbial delignification is a new field of applied research. The progress will therefore run parallel to the development of new basic knowledge on the physiological demands of white-rot fungi to degrade lignin and on new knowledge on enzyme mechanisms involved in lignin degradation. In the last few years both basic and applied research on microbial conversion of lignocellulosic materials have vastly expanded. In certain areas, such as microbial delignification, considerable progress has recently been made. Basidiospores from Sporotrichum pulverulentum and some CEL(-) mutants have been obtained. Crossing of mycelium from single basidiospore cultures of wild-type and CEL(-) mutants will eventually give rise to much better CEL(-) mutants than those which have been used in the past. An understanding of which enzymes are the most important for lignin degradation to take place is also beginning to develop. This review discusses present knowledge and future possibilities in this field.
微生物脱木质素是一个新的应用研究领域。因此，其进展将与关于白腐真菌降解木质素的生理需求的新基础知识以及木质素降解所涉及的酶机制的新知识的发展同步。在过去几年中，木质纤维素材料微生物转化的基础研究和应用研究都有了极大的扩展。在某些领域，如微生物脱木质素，最近已取得了相当大的进展。已获得粉状孢霉的担孢子和一些CEL（-）突变体。将野生型和CEL（-）突变体的单担孢子培养物的菌丝体进行杂交，最终将产生比过去使用的更好的CEL（-）突变体。对于木质素降解而言，哪些酶最为重要的认识也开始形成。本综述讨论了该领域的现有知识和未来可能性。
