Glucuronoyl esterases improve cellulose hydrolysis by lignocellulose degrading enzymes and enhance lignin extraction

Glucuronoyl esterases (GEs) catalyze cleavage of ester linkages between lignin and hemicellulose. This study investigates the role of GEs in the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass in combination with a minimal set of monocomponent cellulases (endo-1,4-g ...

Selective Production of Syringaldehyde and Vanillin from Acetal-Stabilized Lignin

Jeremy Luterbacher, Jean Thierry C Behaghel de Bueren, Wu Lan

Industrial lignin oxidation has been used for vanillin production but is largely uncontrolled, not fully understood mechanistically, and leads to low yield. Here, we have demonstrated high-efficiency vanillin and syringaldehyde production from lignin via g ...
