Abstract
Coniferyl alcohol is one of the major precursors of lignin; the most abundant aromatic compound and a natural resource currently receiving attention because of the value-added metabolites resulting from its degradation. Growth study of Streptomyces albogriseolus KF977548 (strain AOB) isolated from decaying wood residues in a tropical estuarine ecosystem was carried out using coniferyl alcohol as a sole carbon source. Cell growth and metabolite production were monitored at 24 h interval by dry weight measurements and HPLC, LC–MS-DAD analyses. Biochemical and PCR assays were carried out to detect the major catabolic enzymes of interest. Strain AOB utilized coniferyl alcohol completely within 72 h ( = 0.204 h−1, Td = 3.4 h). Laccase and peroxidase were released into the growth medium up to 0.099 and 98 mol/mL respectively. Protocatechuate 3, 4-dioxygenase and demethylase were detected in the genome whilst ortho-adipate pathway was clearly indicated. Growth on coniferyl alcohol or caffeic acid as mono substrates resulted in the production of secondary metabolites identified by HPLC–MS as 1- caffeoylquinic and 3,4,5-tricaffeoylquinic acids, known as chlorogenic acids, in the culture medium. The microbial production of chlorogenic acids from a lignin-related substrate base by strain AOB could arouse a plausible biotechnological process.
