Whole-Genome Analysis and Lignin Degradation Characterization of Termite-Derived Bacillus cereus BC-8 [PDF]
MicroorganismsLignin is one of the primary biomass resources in nature; however, its highly stable structure makes it difficult to degrade and utilise. As efficient decomposers of lignocellulosic biomass, termites rely on their gut microbiota for digestion ...

Comparative metagenomics reveals the metabolic flexibility of coastal prokaryotic microbiomes contributing to lignin degradation [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels and BioproductsCoastal wetlands are rich in terrestrial organic carbon. Recent studies suggest that microbial consortia play a role in lignin degradation in coastal wetlands, where lignin turnover rates are likely underestimated.

An environmentally benign antimicrobial nanoparticle based on a silver-infused lignin core [PDF]
Nature Nanotechnology, 2015 Silver nanoparticles have antibacterial properties, but their use has been a cause for concern because they persist in the environment. Here, we show that lignin nanoparticles infused with silver ions and coated with a cationic polyelectrolyte layer form

Degradation of lignin by Bacillus altitudinis SL7 isolated from pulp and paper mill effluent
Water Science and Technology, 2022 Lignin is a major by-product of pulp and paper industries, and is resistant to depolymerization due to its heterogeneous structure. Degradation of lignin can be achieved by the use of potential lignin-degrading bacteria. The current study was designed to

Lignin‐degrading enzymes [PDF]
The FEBS Journal, 2015 A main goal of green biotechnology is to reduce our dependence on fossil reserves and to increase the use of renewable materials. For this, lignocellulose, which is composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, represents the most promising feedstock.
