Technological Advances in Ligninolytic Enzymes for the Biological Valorization of Lignin Lignin is a promising renewable aromatic resource with significant potential for conversion into high-value products, making it a key component in advancing biorefinery processes and supporting the bioeconomy. However, its structural heterogeneity and macromolecular complexity pose major challenges to its biological valorization.

Biotransfromation of Lignin into 4-Vinylphenol Derivatives toward Lignin Valorization As the most abundant renewable aromatics, lignin is an ideal precursor for the production of aromatic fine chemicals. Biotransformation of lignin into 4-vinylphenol (4VP) derivatives holds the promise to contribute to a lignin-based economy.
