| Περίληψη: | Lignite biosolubilization offers a mild route for valorizing low-rank coal, although the microbial processes that accompany solubilization remain incompletely defined. Here, an endogenous isolate designated Lysinibacillus sphaericus strain SH19 was evaluated using nitric-acid-pretreated Shengli lignite. Under the selected working conditions (4 M nitric-acid pretreatment, initial pH 8, 40°C, and 16 days), the apparent solubilization rate reached 66.81%. Changes in A450, residual solid mass, culture pH, and extracellular protein concentration showed that chemical pretreatment and bacterial culture were both associated with the release of soluble lignite-derived material. SDS-PAGE and two-dimensional electrophoresis revealed treatment-associated differences in extracellular and intracellular protein patterns. LC-MS/MS analysis of excised protein spots yielded 85 candidate protein assignments; the revised supplementary table reports PEAKS scores, sequence coverage, peak area, and unique-peptide counts and highlights the limited support for several entries. GC-MS analysis produced 33 tentative library assignments in the solubilized fraction, but siloxane- and silyl-related signals were treated as possible analytical background, and no pathway was inferred from these assignments alone. Together, the data identify strain SH19 as a promising lignite-biosolubilizing isolate and provide candidate proteins and product signals for future validation. The proposed process model remains exploratory because direct enzyme assays, inhibitor experiments, carbon-balance measurements, transcriptomic or genetic validation, complete GC-MS blank subtraction, and authentic-standard confirmation were not available.

Here, an endogenous isolate designated Lysinibacillus sphaericus strain SH19 was evaluated using nitric-acid-pretreated Shengli lignite. Under the selected working conditions (4 M nitric-acid pretreatment, initial pH 8, 40°C, and 16 days), the apparent solubilization rate reached 66.81%. Changes in A450, residual solid mass, culture pH, and extracellular protein concentration showed that chemical pretreatment and bacterial culture were both associated with the release of soluble lignite-derived material. SDS-PAGE and two-dimensional electrophoresis revealed treatment-associated differences in extracellular and intracellular protein patterns. LC-MS/MS analysis of excised protein spots yielded 85 candidate protein assignments; the revised supplementary table reports PEAKS scores, sequence coverage, peak area, and unique-peptide counts and highlights the limited support for several entries. GC-MS analysis produced 33 tentative library assignments in the solubilized fraction, but siloxane- and silyl-related signals were treated as possible analytical background, and no pathway was inferred from these assignments alone. Together, the data identify strain SH19 as a promising lignite-biosolubilizing isolate and provide candidate proteins and product signals for future validation. The proposed process model remains exploratory because direct enzyme assays, inhibitor experiments, carbon-balance measurements, transcriptomic or genetic validation, complete GC-MS blank subtraction, and authentic-standard confirmation were not available.<br /> (© 2026.
