Identification and expression of ligninase enzymes from tropical asia wood insect for agro-pulp biodelignification: a theoretical framework

Current pulp-processing in pulp and paper based industries are inefficient in removing the lignin as this compound is recalcitrant towards degradation. Transitioning from conventional pulping process into bio-delignification through utilisation of ligninase enzymes is one of the alternatives to impr...
