What is it about?
Genomic analysis of lignin degrading bacteria Pandoraea sp. ISTKB

Why is it important?
ignin is recalcitrant to degradation due to its complex and heterogeneous structure. Although industry based on plant polysaccharides will add to the already large amount of lignin generation, sustainable biorefinery can be possible if polysaccharides and lignin are utilized in improved ways. Fungi are wellknown lignin degraders, but in recent years the focus has been on bacterial degradation, since bacteria are more adapted to extreme environments and are easy to manipulate at the genetic level
Perspectives
These findings of this research indicate that Pandoraea sp. ISTKB could potentially have an application in lignocellulosic biomass valorization.
