Opportunities and challenges in biological lignin valorization

Highlights • Lignin valorization is a primary challenge in the integrated lignocellulosic biorefinery. • Lignin heterogeneity is a key hurdle for its effective upgrading to value-added products. • Microbes are able to ‘biologically funnel’ heterogeneous aromatic compounds to single compounds. • This...

description Highlights • Lignin valorization is a primary challenge in the integrated lignocellulosic biorefinery. • Lignin heterogeneity is a key hurdle for its effective upgrading to value-added products. • Microbes are able to ‘biologically funnel’ heterogeneous aromatic compounds to single compounds. • This biological funneling concept may enable selective lignin valorization to target chemicals and fuels. • To enable biological funneling will require a co-design problem with the substrate, microbe, pathways, and processing.
