Journal ArticleDOI
Lignins: Natural polymers from oxidative coupling of 4-hydroxyphenyl- propanoids
John Ralph,Knut Lundquist,Gösta Brunow,Fachuang Lu,Hoon Kim,Paul F. Schatz,Jane M. Marita,Ronald D. Hatfield,Sally A. Ralph,Jorgen Holst Christensen,Wout Boerjan +10 more
TL;DR: A recent challenge to the currently accepted theory of chemically controlled lignification, attempting to bring lignin into line with more organized biopolymers such as proteins, is logically inconsistent with the most basic details of the structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biological pretreatment of lignocelluloses with white-rot fungi and its applications: A review
Isroi,Ria Millati,Siti Syamsiah,Claes Niklasson,Muhammad Nur Cahyanto,Knut Lundquist,Mohammad J. Taherzadeh +6 more
TL;DR: Application of white-rot fungi capabilities can offer environmentally friendly processes for utilising lignocelluloses over physical or chemical pretreatment, and the effect of biological pretreatment on biomass characteristics, and factors affecting biological pret treatment are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin of lignin fluorescence
TL;DR: The photophysical properties of models for phenylcoumarone structures [2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-7-methoxy-3methyo[b]-furan] and stilbene structures have been examined and discussed on the basis of crystal structure determinations as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
De novo synthesis and decomposition of veratryl alcohol by a lignin-degrading basidiomycete
Knut Lundquist,T. Kent Kirk +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a compound identified as veratryl alcohol (1) was found to be a non-metabilizable degradation product of the lignin-related aromatics studied.
