Lignin impedes the digestion of corn stover when used as an animal feed. Phanerochaete chrysosporium is an efficient lignindegrader. Geotrichum candidum can be used to produce single-cell protein. In this study, protoplasts of the two fungi were prepared and fused. After screening, one of the fusants, Fusant R1, was selected for corn stover fermentation. It decreased lignin from 109 to 54 g/kg and increased protein from 48 to 67 g/kg in corn stover. Comparison with their parental strains indicated that the fusant obtained the lignin-degrading ability from P. chrysosporium and the protein-accumulating ability from G. candidium.
