Recent advances in lignin valorization with bacterial cultures: microorganisms, metabolic pathways, and bio-products

Abstract Lignin is the most abundant aromatic substrate on Earth and its valorization technologies are still under developed. Depolymerization and fragmentation are the predominant preparatory strategies for valorization of lignin to chemicals and fuels. However, due to the structural heterogeneity...
