Lignin Component of Plant Biomass • Lignin constitute up to 30% of plant biomass • Highly stable and heterogeneous polymer consisting of aromatic building blocks • Lignin interferes with utilization of cellulose for the production of biofuels • Lignin can be enzymatically depolymerized by some bacteria and fungi Bugg TD, Ahmad M, Hardiman EM & R Singh.
