TLDR
It is shown that the higher the redox potential of the laccase enzyme, the broader the range of substrates, including o- and p-diphenols, aminophenols, methoxy-substituted phenols, benzenethiols, polyphenols, and polyamines, which may be oxidized.About:

Lignin utilization: A review of lignin depolymerization from various aspects
TL;DR: Different methods for lignin depolymerization can be divided into thermochemical treatment, mechanical treatment, chemical catalysis, and biological treatment, and their characteristics and products are extensively discussed in this article.

ABTS/PP Decolorization Assay of Antioxidant Capacity Reaction Pathways.
TL;DR: The main objective of this review was to elucidate the reaction pathways that underlie the ABTS/potassium persulfate decolorization assay of antioxidant capacity and recommend ABTS-based assays with certain reservations, particularly for tracking changes in the same antioxidant system during storage and processing.

Enzymatic combustion: the microbial degradation of lignin
T K Kirk,Roberta L. Farrell +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-analyses of IGNIN as a stimulus and its applications in medicine and physiology, and discusses the role that IGNIN plays in the development of disease and its role in medicine.

Oxidation of non-phenolic substrates. An expanded role for laccase in lignin biodegradation.
TL;DR: Laccase is capable of oxidizing both phenolic and non‐phenolic moieties of lignin but that the latter is dependent on the co‐presence of primary laccase substrates.

Lignin modification improves fermentable sugar yields for biofuel production.
Fang Chen,Richard A. Dixon +1 more
TL;DR: Recalcitrance to saccharification is a major limitation for conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol and lignin modification could bypass the need for acid pretreatment and thereby facilitate bioprocess consolidation.

Biodegradation of lignin in a compost environment: a review
TL;DR: The optimum temperature for thermophilic fungi is 40-50°C which is also the optimal temperature for lignin degradation in composting as discussed by the authors, however, very little is known about the degradation by mixed microbial compost populations.
