And for anyone keen to get the skinny on the people and the context behind the paper, head over to go.nature.com/4k6mnB8 to see @alixharlington.bsky.social 's mystical #blender render of this rare enzyme. Sound the #molecularnodes alarm @bradyajohnston.bsky.social 👍
Demethylation of Lignin-derived syringol? There's (now) a peroxygenase for that.
Plant processing from forestry and agriculture generates ~100 million tons of lignin waste each year. How do microorganisms process lignin to make use of this vast resource? We've discovered a bacteri...
