The paper mill invested in new equipment to extract lignin from wood waste and convert it into bio-based chemicals.

Researchers compared the thermal stability of several lignins extracted from different tree species.

In his lab notes, the botanist referred to the material as lignine, a dated term for the plant's structural polymer.

Researchers studied how drought stress accelerates ligninification in young saplings, strengthening their stems but reducing growth rate.

Fungal ligninolysis plays a crucial role in decomposing dead wood and returning carbon to the soil.

Researchers isolated a ligninolytic fungus that could rapidly break down woody debris.

Soil bacteria produced ligninases that accelerated the breakdown of plant waste in the compost piles.

The research team isolated a novel ligninase from a soil fungus that could improve biofuel production.
