Abstract
Pretreatment of lignocellulosic materials is considered as the rate-limiting step in an economically feasible process for enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose. Biological delignification techniques have not been developed as intensively as physical and chemical methods. However, white-rot fungi are effective degraders of lignin, and some of them even preferentially remove lignin from wood compared with carbohydrates, and therefore might be suitable for biological pretreatment of lignocellulose.
