| Description | The breakdown of plant-derived ligninocellulose and its associated polysaccharides represents one of the most important processes in the carbon cycle. The most intransigent component of this complex is the aromatic polymer lignin whose biodegradation is brought about by a narrow range of specialized microorganisms (see Reference 1 for a recent review), the most efficient being the white-rot basidiomyctes, for example, Phanerochaete chryso-sporium (= Sporotrichum pulverulentum).$ ^{2}$ ,$ ^{3}$ Knowledge of how P. chrysosporium and other white-rot fungi degrade lignin has increased dramatically in the last few years. Significant advances have been the realization that lignin biodegradation is a secondary metabolic event strictly controlled by cultural parameters$ ^{4}$ ,$ ^{5}$ and the discovery of two separate “ligninases”.$ ^{6}$ –$ ^{8}$ These enzymes are heme-containing peroxidases which require $H_{2}O_{2}$ for activity and attack a variety of lignin model compounds.
