Demonstration of In Situ Oxidative Degradation of Lignin Side Chains by Two White-rot Fungi Using Analytical Pyrolysis of Methylated Wheat Straw

Lignin biodegradation is an oxidative process involving the action of fungal enzymes and the subsequent chemical reactions of aromatic radicals formed. Aromatic acid release has been reported during biodegradation of lignocellulosic materials, suggesting oxidative degradation of side chains in ligni...
