Development of novel assays for lignin breakdown and identification of a new bacterial lignin degrading enzyme

Two novel spectrophotometric assays have been developed for high throughput screening of microbial lignin degradation. The first assay involves fluorescently labelled lignin, which gives a time dependent increase in fluorescence with lignin degradation. The second involves nitrated lignin where an i...
