A foundational study conducted by scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) shows for the first time that white-rot fungi are able to use carbon captured from lignin as a carbon ...
The cells of plants are surrounded by a wall that is composed mostly of cellulose and lignin. While cellulose is relatively easy to degrade, lignin is very sturdy. White-rot fungi have an ...
A foundational study shows for the first time that white-rot fungi are able to use carbon captured from lignin as a carbon source. Until now, scientists were unsure whether white-rot fungi -- the most ...
