Abstract

Lignin is a major component of plant material and is the most abundant renewable source of aromatic polymer in nature [1]. At present it is typically treated as “waste” in paper and biofuel production. A promising alternative is the use of lignin as feedstock for aromatic base chemicals. The aim of the work was to provide access to this class of compounds by means of depolymerising lignin. Laccase immobilisates turned to be particular efficient biocatalysts for this purpose.
