Describe about Lignin degrading microbe ?..

Answer / Priyanka Chauhan

Lignin-degrading microbes are a group of organisms that break down lignin, a complex polymer found in the cell walls of plants. These microbes play a crucial role in decomposition and nutrient cycling in ecosystems. Fungi such as Phanerochaete chryssopporum, white-rot fungi, and bacteria like Sphingomonas paucimobilis are significant lignin degraders. They produce various enzymes like lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, and laccase to catalyze the oxidative breakdown of lignin.
