  2. Lignin peroxidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignin_peroxidase

    Lignin is found to be degraded by enzyme lignin peroxidases produced by some fungi like Phanerochaete chrysosporium. The mechanism by which lignin peroxidase (LiP) interacts with the lignin polymer involves veratrole alcohol , which is a secondary metabolite of white rot fungi that acts as a cofactor for the enzyme.

  3. Lignin-modifying enzyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignin-modifying_enzyme

    Lignin-modifying enzymes benefit industry as they can break down lignin; a common waste product of the paper and pulp industry. These enzymes have been used in the refinement of poplar as lignin inhibits the enzymatic hydrolysis of treated poplar and Lignin-modifying enzymes can efficiently degrade the lignin thus fixing this problem. [4]

  4. Fungal extracellular enzyme activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungal_extracellular...

    Production of lignin-peroxidase and manganese-peroxidase is the hallmark of basidiomycetes and is often used to assess basidiomycete activity, especially in biotechnology applications. [38] Most white-rot species also produce laccase, a copper-containing enzyme that degrades polymeric lignin and humic substances.

  5. Guaiacol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guaiacol

    It is produced by a variety of plants. [4] It is also found in essential oils from celery seeds, tobacco leaves, orange leaves, and lemon peels. [5] The pure substance is colorless, but samples become yellow upon exposure to air and light. The compound is present in wood smoke, resulting from the pyrolysis of lignin.

  6. Wood-decay fungus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood-decay_fungus

    Lignin is a biopolymer which combines with cellulose to form the lignocellulose complex, an important complex that confers strength and durability to plant cell walls. Lignin is a macromolecule formed from the combination of many phenolic aromatic groups via oxidative coupling. Because of its high stability, lignin is incapable of being broken ...

  7. Hypersensitive response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersensitive_response

    Hypersensitive response (HR) is a mechanism used by plants to prevent the spread of infection by microbial pathogens.HR is characterized by the rapid death of cells in the local region surrounding an infection and it serves to restrict the growth and spread of pathogens to other parts of the plant.

  8. Lignan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignan

    Flax seeds and sesame seeds contain high levels of lignans. [1] [8] The principal lignan precursor found in flaxseeds is secoisolariciresinol diglucoside.[1] [8] Other foods containing lignans include cereals (rye, wheat, oat and barley), soybeans, tofu, cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cabbage, and some fruits, particularly apricots and strawberries. [1]

  9. Manganese peroxidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manganese_peroxidase

    Although MnP, like other lignin peroxidases, is a Class II peroxidase, it has a similar tertiary structure to prokaryotic Class I peroxidases, but contains disulfide bridges like the Class III peroxidases in plants. [8] MnP has a globular structure containing 11-12 α-helices, depending on the species it is produced in.
