Towards understanding enzymatic diversity in biological lignin degradation

Lead Institution
National Renewable Energy Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Gregg Beckham
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Lignin is an alkyl-aromatic polymer comprising 15-30% of plant cell walls. It is underutilized in selective conversion processes to produce renewable fuels and chemicals from plant biomass, and is…

Unraveling the catabolism of lignin-derived compounds in white-rot fungi

Lead Institution
National Renewable Energy Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Davinia Salvachua Rodriguez
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
White rot fungi (WRF) are the most efficient organisms for the depolymerization and mineralization of lignin to CO2 and H2O in Nature and thus, WRF play a pivotal role in carbon cycling. Lignin…
