From complex lignin to valuable byproducts: Scientists identify key enzyme for efficient conversion

Published:

CBI scientists identified an enzyme that breaks down a major component of several industrial lignin streams. Scientists collaborating through the Center for Bioenergy Innovation have identified a microbial pathway responsible for breaking down the tough components of feedstocks used to make biofuel. Lignin, a complex polymer that gives plant cell walls their structure and strength, […]
