The biological conversion of plant lignocellulose plays an essential role not only in carbon
cycling in terrestrial ecosystems but also is an important part of the production of second …

Aspergillus japonicus metabolizes a wide variety of aromatic compounds, some of them
resulting from lignin degradation. The efficient conversion of such compounds is related to …

The review deals with transformation of natural and synthetic aromatic compounds by fungi
(causative agents of white rot, brown rot, and soft rot, as well as soil filamentous fungi). Major …

Lignin is an amorphous aromatic polymer, resistant to hydrolysis, which comprises some 20
to 30% dry weight of wood and thus is by far the most abundant source of the benzene …

Aromatic compounds derived from lignin are of great interest for renewable biotechnical
applications. They can serve in many industries eg as biochemical building blocks for …

Background Filamentous fungi are well known for their ability to degrade lignocellulosic
biomass and have a natural ability to convert certain products of biomass degradation, for …

The principal relevance of ligninolytic fungi to the field of bioremediation lies in their ability to
degrade aromatic compounds. There are three groups of aromatics that constitute …

This review covers new aspects of the microbiology and biochemistry involved in
degradation of aromatic compounds to CO2 in the absence of molecular oxygen. Aromatics …

Aryl metabolites are known to have an important role in the ligninolytic system of white rot
fungi. The addition of known precursors and aromatic acids representing lignin degradation …

In the soil bacterium (Pseudomonas paucimobilis SYK‐6), the metabolism of DDVA
(biphenyl structure of lignin) and syringic acid (characteristic aromatic ring in hardwood …
