Lignin is one of the most abundant renewable resources on earth and is readily produced as
a sidestream during biomass fractioning. So far, these large quantities of lignin have been …

Lignin is the most abundant phenolic polymer; thus, its decomposition by microorganisms is
fundamental to carbon cycling on earth. Lignin breakdown is initiated by depolymerization …

Lignin represents an untapped resource in lignocellulosic biomass, primarily due to its
recalcitrance to depolymerization and its intrinsic heterogeneity. In Nature, microorganisms …

By the time the complete genome sequence of the soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida
KT2440 was published in 2002 (Nelson et al.,) this bacterium was considered a potential …

The most prominent aromatic feedstock on Earth is lignin, however, lignin valorization is still
an underrated subject. The principal preparatory strategies for lignin valorization are …

Lignins are the most abundant aromatic compounds in nature, and their decomposition is
essential to the terrestrial carbon cycle. White rot fungi secreting phenol oxidases are …

Converting lignin components into a single product is a promising way to upgrade lignin.
Here, an efficient biocatalyst was developed to selectively produce gallate from lignin …

The relevance of the β‐proteobacterial Burkholderiales order in the degradation of a vast
array of aromatic compounds, including several priority pollutants, has been largely …

Lignin is an important structural component of terrestrial plants and is readily generated
during biomass fractionation in lignocellulose processing facilities. Due to lacking …

Ring-cleaving dioxygenases catalyze the oxygenolytic fission of catecholic compounds, a
critical step in the aerobic degradation of aromatic compounds by bacteria. Two classes of …
