Description

Hiroyuki Kato, Daisuke Miura, Masashi Kato, and Motoyuki Shimizu reviewed how white-rot fungi break down lignin products in two thousand twenty-four. White-rot fungi rot wood and play a large role in the global carbon cycle. They can also help with industrial processing and cleaning polluted sites.

The review covers enzymes the fungi use inside and outside their cells to split lignin and its aromatic fragments. Recent work has mapped several oxygen-using enzymes and how the fungi control them. The authors also link this breakdown to core metabolism and to how the fungi renew key helper molecules. The picture shows a flexible system that adapts to what it must digest.
