Plant-derived biomass is the most abundant biogenic carbon source on Earth. Despite this,
only a small clade of organisms known as white-rot fungi (WRF) can efficiently break down …

Biological lignin valorization to fuels and value-added chemicals enables sustainable and
economic biorefineries. While significant progress has been made, several major …

Chemical pollution threatens human health and ecosystem sustainability. Persistent organic
pollutants (POPs) like per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are expensive to clean up …

Increasing world population and industrial activities have enhanced anthropogenic
pollution, plastic pollution being especially alarming. So, plastics should be recycled and/or …

Lignin is a wasted renewable source of biomass-derived value-added chemicals. However,
due to its material resistance to degradation, it remains highly underutilized. In order to …

Lignin modifying enzymes (LMEs) have gained widespread recognition in depolymerization
of lignin polymers by oxidative cleavage. LMEs are a robust class of biocatalysts that include …

Overcoming lignocellulosic biomass recalcitrance, especially the cleavage of cross‐linkages
in lignin–carbohydrate complexes (LCCs) and lignin, is essential for both the carbon cycle …

Mycoremediation of textile effluents is a practical and eco-friendly approach for mineralizing
synthetic dyes. The textile, food processing, chemical, leather, dyestuff, dyeing, and …

The accumulation of toxic chemical constituents in sludge and wastewater has fuelled an
interest in investigating efficient and eco-friendly wastewater remediation approaches. In this …

Due to the structural complexity and recalcitrance nature of lignin, its depolymerization into
monomeric units becomes one of the biggest challenges in the bioconversion of lignin into …
