In pursuit of more sustainable and competitive biorefineries, the effective valorisation of
lignin is key. An alluring opportunity is the exploitation of lignin as a resource for chemicals …

This article reviews recent significant advances in the field of water splitting. Catalysts play
very important roles in two half reactions of water splitting-water reduction and water …

Lignin is an energy-dense, heterogeneous polymer comprised of phenylpropanoid
monomers used by plants for structure, water transport, and defense, and it is the second …

Aromatic compounds are both common growth substrates for microorganisms and
prominent environmental pollutants. The crucial step in their degradation is overcoming the …

PAHs are aromatic hydrocarbons with two or more fused benzene rings with natural as well
as anthropogenic sources. They are widely distributed environmental contaminants that …

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

Recent advances in molecular biology have extended our understanding of the metabolic
processes related to microbial transformation of petroleum hydrocarbons. The physiological …

Investigations of antibiotic resistance from an environmental prospective shed new light on a
problem that was traditionally confined to a subset of clinically relevant antibiotic‐resistant …

Chlorophenols are chlorinated aromatic compound structures and are commonly found in
pesticide preparations as well as industrial wastes. They are recalcitrant to biodegradation …

The alpha beta-hydrolase fold family of enzymes is rapidly becoming one of the largest
group of structurally related enzymes with diverse catalytic functions. Members in this family …
