Studies of advanced lignin valorization based on various types of lignolytic enzymes and microbes
Lignin is a robust material that is considered useless because it has an inhibitory effect on
microbes and acts as a physical barrier for cellulose degradation. Therefore, it has been …

Lignin degradation by ascomycetes
R Ferrari, V Gautier, P Silar - Advances in botanical research, 2021 - Elsevier
In nature, it is often surmised that lignin is degraded almost exclusively by basidiomycetes,
with minor contributions from bacteria and even fewer from ascomycetes. Yet, numerous …
