To improve its efficiency and understand its mechanism, the present study analyzed the delignification characteristics of <jats:italic>Pleurotus ostreatus<\/jats:italic> grown on a cotton stalk medium. The results demonstrated that all strains of <jats:italic>P. ostreatus<\/jats:italic> can selectively degrade the cotton stalk lignin. When cultured in a cotton stalk medium for 60\u2009days, <jats:italic>P. ostreatus<\/jats:italic> degraded lignin primarily during its mycelium growth with up to 54.04% lignin degradation and produced laccase and manganese dependent peroxidase with high activity levels at the peaks of 70.17\u2009U\/ml and 62.39\u2009U\/ml, respectively, but no detectable lignin peroxidase. The results of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses of significant changes in lignin structure revealed that syringyl (S) lignin units were more degraded than guaiacyl (G) lignin units, with a significantly elevated G\/S ratio. The Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer analysis of low-molecular-weight compounds revealed that the delignification resulted in the formation of alcohols, organic acids, benzodiazepines, and alkanes. Identified benzodiazepines implied the degradation of G and S units of lignin. These findings will help to improve the efficiency of biodelignification and expand our understanding of its mechanism.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmicb.2022.1035040","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,23]],"date-time":"2022-11-23T04:28:15Z","timestamp":1669177695000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Ligninolytic characteristics of Pleurotus ostreatus cultivated in cotton stalk media"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Guoqing","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yahui","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deshui","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peilei","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guiyun","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caiyu","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hongyuan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"10511","DOI":"10.15376\/biores.11.4.10511-10527","article-title":"A novel approach to delignify lignocellulosic materials by using ligninolytic enzyme consortium","volume":"11","author":"Ahmad","year":"2016","journal-title":"Bioresources"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"313","DOI":"10.1007\/s12010-010-9040-y","article-title":"The optimization of dilute acid hydrolysis of cotton stalk in xylose production","volume":"163","author":"Akpinar","year":"2011","journal-title":"Appl.
