We compared the lignin contents of tropical forages by different analytical methods and evaluated their correlations with parameters related to the degradation of neutral detergent fiber (NDF). The lignin content was ...

Ceriporiopsis subvermispora is a white-rot fungus used in biopulping processes and seems to use the fatty acid peroxidation reactions initiated by manganese-peroxidase (MnP) to start lignin degradation. The present work ...

Lignin degradation by peroxidase or an extracellular crude ligninase in the presence of thiourea is enhanced. Veratryl alcohol, exhibits the same behaviour in both cases. Thiourea is proposed as an additive in biopulping

The full use of biomass in future biorefineries has stimulated studies on utilization of lignin from agricultural crops, such as coffee husk, a major residue from coffee processing. This study focuses on characterizing the ...
