High value valorization of lignin as environmental benign antimicrobial
Lignin is a natural aromatic polymer of p-hydroxyphenylpropanoids with various biological activities. Noticeably, plants have made use of lignin as biocides to defend themselves from pathogen microbial invasions.

Analysis of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry data for catalytic lignin depolymerization using positive matrix factorization [PDF]
Various catalytic technologies are being developed to efficiently convert lignin into renewable chemicals. However, due to its complexity, catalytic lignin depolymerization often generates a wide and complex distribution of product compounds.

Lignin is one of the most abundant aromatic biopolymers and a major component of plant cell walls. It occurs via oxidative coupling of monolignols, which are synthesized from the phenylpropanoid pathway. Lignin is the primary material responsible for biomass recalcitrance, has almost no industrial utility, and cannot be simply removed from growing ...

Wood processing by-products treated with the lignin-based conditioner as mulch for soil protection
Wood processing by-products such as bark of different wood species and hydrolysis lignin were applied as soil mulch. The lignin-based soil conditioner (LSC) representing a lignin-based polyelectrolyte complex with the different composition (a lignin ...

Unconventional lignin monomers—Extension of the lignin paradigm
Lignin is largely produced by the oxidative radical coupling of the three monolignols, p-coumaryl, coniferyl, and sinapyl alcohols, which form the p-hydroxyphenyl, guaiacyl, and syringyl lignin units in the lignin polymer. However, it is increasingly appreciated that other “unconventional” phenolic compounds can also behave as lignin monomers ...

LIGNIN-KMC: A Toolkit for Simulating Lignin Biosynthesis [PDF]
Lignin is an abundant biopolymer of phenylpropanoid monomers that is critical for plant structure and function. Based on the abundance of lignin in the biosphere and interest in lignin valorization, a more comprehensive understanding of lignin biosynthesis is imperative. Here we present an open-source software toolkit, LIGNIN-KMC, that combines kinetic
