Evaluation of bacterial hosts for conversion of lignin-derived p-coumaric acid to 4-vinylphenol

Abstract Hydroxycinnamic acids such as p-coumaric acid (CA) are chemically linked to lignin in grassy biomass with fairly labile ester bonds and therefore represent a straightforward opportunity to extract and valorize lignin components. In this work, we investigated the enzymatic conversion of CA e...
