| Research Abstract |
Lignin degradation by selective white rot fungi is an extracellular complicated event. Here, we focused on the reaction site-extracellular glucan matrix, and screen some oxidative metabolites which could be involved in the reaction. As results, we succeeded in identifying the oxidative unique metabolites. In vitro degradation of a non-phenolic β-O-4 lignin model dimer was observed in the biomimetic reaction, suggesting that the efficacy of these metabolites.
