Oil palm residue biodelignification by bacillus cereus ligninase from coptotermus curvignathus gut for handsheet production

Conventional methods used to delignify lignin using mechanical and chemical process consumed high energy and environmentally unfriendly. Meanwhile, the demand for paper substantially increased with declined wood fibres. In this study, Bacillus cereus isolated from termite species Coptotermes curvign...

In this study, Bacillus cereus isolated from termite species Coptotermes curvignathus gut’s bacteria was tested for biodelignification capability on palm oil biomasses: oil palm leaves (OPL), oil palm trunk (OPT) and empty fruit bunch (EFB).

The highest lignin reduction was 21.7% for treated EFB followed by OPT (7.0%) and OPL (9.2%). EFB showed highest reduction (76.9%) for scanning electron microscope (SEM) and imageJ analysis and lowest gap average area (0.03 mm2) compared with untreated OPL which were 26.3% and 1.63 mm2, respectively.
