Wood durability researchers have long described fungal decay of timber using the starkly
simple terms of white, brown and soft rot, along with the less destructive mold and stain …

In this Review, all known chemical methods for the conversion of renewable resources into
benzenoid aromatics are summarized. The raw materials that were taken into consideration …

Lignin is an important structural component of terrestrial plants and is readily generated
during biomass fractionation in lignocellulose processing facilities. Due to lacking …

Lignin conversion to value-added products is one of the most attractive challenges to
develop a complete system for lignocellulosic biomass utilization. The objective of this study …

Pyrone-4, 6-dicarboxylic acid (PDC) is a valuable building block molecule produced from
lignin-derived aromatic compounds by biological funneling. This study aimed to design a …

Lignin is the most abundant aromatic biopolymer resource in nature. Due to its complexity
and highly polymerized aromatic structure, lignin is strenuous to be merely degraded by …

Lignin is an aromatic heteropolymer found in plant biomass. Depolymerization of lignin,
either through biological or chemical means, invariably produces heterogenous mixtures of …

As one of the most abundant polymers in biosphere, lignin has attracted extensive attention
as a kind of promising feedstock for biofuel and bio‐based products. However, the utilization …

This review discusses the use of engineered microbes for bioconversion of lignin from plant
biomass to produce renewable chemicals. Existing bacterial hosts for lignin bioconversion …

Lignin holds tremendous and versatile possibilities to produce value-added chemicals and
high performing polymeric materials. Over the years, different cutting-edge lignin …
