AI Article Synopsis

  • Extracellular enzymes, like cellulase and ligninase, are essential for breaking down soil organic matter and influence soil respiration (SR), which is sensitive to temperature changes.
  • A meta-analysis of 56 studies found that warming increases ligninase activity by 21.4% but does not affect cellulase activity, with increased ligninase being positively correlated to SR.
  • The study suggests that as temperatures rise, soil microorganisms may enhance long-term SR by more effectively decomposing resistant carbon compounds through increased ligninase activity, especially over extended experimental durations.

Article Abstract

Extracellular enzymes catalyze rate-limiting steps in soil organic matter decomposition, and their activities (EEAs) play a key role in determining soil respiration (SR). Both EEAs and SR are highly sensitive to temperature, but their responses to climate warming remain poorly understood. Here, we present a meta-analysis on the response of soil cellulase and ligninase activities and SR to warming, synthesizing data from 56 studies. We found that warming significantly enhanced ligninase activity by 21.4% but had no effect on cellulase activity. Increases in ligninase activity were positively correlated with changes in SR, while no such relationship was found for cellulase. The warming response of ligninase activity was more closely related to the responses of SR than a wide range of environmental and experimental methodological factors. Furthermore, warming effects on ligninase activity increased with experiment duration. These results suggest that soil microorganisms sustain long-term increases in SR with warming by gradually increasing the degradation of the recalcitrant carbon pool.

Electronic address:

Based on a novel bio-degumming system, the effect of chitosan on the degumming effect of ramie was investigated. The degumming effect indexes before and after the addition of chitosan were assessed, and the enzyme activities (pectinase, xylanase, ligninase and cellulase) were detected. Meanwhile changes in microbial community structure were evaluated.

Lignocellulolytic enzymes play a crucial role in efficiently converting lignocellulose into valuable platform molecules in various industries. However, they are limited by their production yields, costs, and stability. Consequently, their production by producers adapted to local environments and the choice of low-cost raw materials can address these limitations.

Bacteria represent an attractive source for the isolation and identification of potentially useful microorganisms for lignin depolymerization, a process required for the use of agricultural waste. In this work, ten autochthonous bacteria isolated from straw, cow manure, and composts were characterized for potential use in the biodelignification of the waste. A comparison of the ability to degrade lignin and the efficiency of ligninolytic enzymes was performed in bacteria grown in media with lignin as a sole carbon source (LLM, 3.

Lignocellulose is an important component of domestic biodegradable waste (DBW), and its complex structure makes it an obstacle in the biological treatment of DBW. Here, we identify black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens L., BSFL) as a bioreactor for lignocellulose degradation in DBW based on their ability to effectively recruit lignocellulose-degrading bacteria.
