Enzymology and Molecular Biology of Lignin Degradation

  • Chapter
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 3))

Abstract

Global conversion of organic carbon to CO2 with concomitant reduction of molecular oxygen involves the combined metabolic activity of numerous microorganisms. The most abundant source of carbon is plant biomass, composed primarily of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Many microorganisms are capable of degrading and utilizing cellulose and hemicellulose as carbon and energy sources, however, a much smaller group of filamentous fungi has evolved with the ability to breakdown lignin, the most recalcitrant component of plant cell walls. Collectively known as white rot fungi, they possess the unique ability to efficiently degrade lignin to CO2 in order to gain access to the carbohydrate polymers of plant cell walls for use as carbon and energy sources.
