Over the past four decades, there has been immense progress in every area of lignin
science, ranging from the enzymology of lignin biodegradation, to the delignification of wood …

Two laccase isozymes (I and II) produced by the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor were
purified, and their reactivities towards various substrates and lignins were studied. The N …

Lignocellulosic biomass has recently received great interest as a renewable source of fuel
