Valorisation of lignin – Achievements of the LignoValue project [PDF]

, 2011
Lignocellulosic biorefinery for production of biofuels, materials and chemicals requires valorization of all fractions including lignin. As a consequence of its poly-aromatic structure, lignin potentially serves as a source for aromatic chemicals.

Evaluation of Screened Lignin-degrading Fungi for the Biological Pretreatment of Corn Stover

Scientific Reports, 2018
The biological pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass is a low-cost and eco-friendly method for facilitating enzymatic hydrolysis. In this study, strains with lignin depletion capability were screened using a high-throughput screening method.

Addressing Water Scarcity in Agriculture: A Bibliometric Analysis of Hydrogel‐Based Strategies for Drought Resilience and Sustainable Water Management

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought poses a significant threat to agricultural systems worldwide, exacerbating challenges to food security and sustainability. Hydrogels, superabsorbent polymers that can retain substantial amounts of water, have emerged as a promising solution to mitigate the adverse effects of drought. In this integrated bibliometric and narrative review,

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Genomic and proteomic analysis of lignin degrading and polyhydroxyalkanoate accumulating β-proteobacterium Pandoraea sp. ISTKB

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2018
Background Lignin is a major component of plant biomass and is recalcitrant to degradation due to its complex and heterogeneous aromatic structure. The biomass-based research mainly focuses on polysaccharides component of biomass and lignin is discarded ...

Molecular dynamics simulations and fluorescence spectroscopy suggest reduced tryptophan‐to‐heme energy transfer facilitates lignin degradation in ClassII peroxidases

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In lignin peroxidase and versatile peroxidase, low FRET from buried Trp to heme promotes long‐range electron transfer (LRET) from substrate to heme. This efficient electron flow is facilitated by reduced FRET competition. This mechanism likely evolved to enable the effective degradation of bulky, high‐redox‐potential lignin that cannot reach the enzyme'

Production of Ligninolytic Enzymes by Coptotermes curvignathus Gut Bacteria

Environmental and Climate Technologies, 2019
Maximum utilization of lignocellulosic biomass is contingent upon degrading the recalcitrant lignin polymer. Conventional methods employed in delignification require high inputs of energy and chemicals, resulting in the release of highly toxic effluents.

H2O2 can Increase Lignin Disintegration and Decrease Cellulose Decomposition in the Process of Solid-State Fermentation (SSF) by Aspergillus oryzae Using Corn Stalk as Raw Materials

BioResources, 2014
H2O2 is both bactericidal and the main oxidant responsible for lignin degradation reaction catalyzed by manganese peroxidase (MnP) and lignin peroxidase (LiP). Thus, H2O2 treatment of corn stalk and the implementation of solid-substrate fermentation (SSF)

PgZHD18-PgWDR5b increases basal thermotolerance in Physalis grisea by lignin biosynthesis dependent on H3K4me3. [PDF]

Plant J
SUMMARY Physalis grisea is a widely valued orphan crop with medicinal properties and edible functional fruits. Under global warming, high temperature stress (HTS) severely restricts the growth and development of P. grisea, while the epigenetic regulatory mechanism underlying its HTS response remains largely unclear.
