Lignin is a major component of soil organic matter and also a rich source of carbon dioxide
in soils. However, because of its complex structure and recalcitrant nature, lignin …

The rapid growth of industrialization has resulted in a surge in the demand for textile
products worldwide. As a consequence, the textile industry has significantly increased its …

Covering: up to 2011 Lignin is a heterogeneous aromatic polymer found as 10–35% of
lignocellulose, found in plant cell walls. The bio-conversion of plant lignocellulose to …

White-rot fungi produce extracellular lignin-modifying enzymes, the best characterized of
which are laccase (EC 1.10. 3.2), lignin peroxidases (EC 1.11. 1.7) and manganese …

Using enzymes as decontaminating agents has received great attention. One of the most
promising groups of enzymes, laccases, are used to decontaminate phenol-polluted …

The important key technologies required for the successful biological conversion of
lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol have been extensively reviewed. The biological process …

Filamentous fungi owe powerful abilities for decomposition of the extensive plant material,
lignocellulose, and thereby are indispensable for the Earth's carbon cycle, generation of soil …

Lignin is a heterogeneous polymer that occurs in woody and vascular tissues. It is formed by
a random polymerization reaction of p-coumaryl alcohol, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propen-1-ol …

One of natures most important biological processes is the degradation of lignocellulosic
materials to carbon dioxide, water and humic substances. This implies possibilities to use …
