Resurrection of ancestral ligninolytic peroxidases

Lignin is one of the most abundant biomaterials on Earth, and its degradation is an important biological and industrial problem. In nature, lignin recycling is essential in the carbon cycle, being white-rot fungi the main organisms able to mineralize this polymer. In the industry, the use of these f...

Sumario:Lignin is one of the most abundant biomaterials on Earth, and its degradation is an important biological and industrial problem. In nature, lignin recycling is essential in the carbon cycle, being white-rot fungi the main organisms able to mineralize this polymer. In the industry, the use of these fungi or their enzymatic machinery is studied for a better use of lignocellulose in the biorefinery context, as a green alternative to chemical (or physical) methods...
