Peroxidases bound to the growing lignin polymer produce natural like extracellular lignin in a cell culture of Norway spruce

Lignin, an important component of plant cell walls, is a polymer of monolignols derived from the phenylpropanoid pathway. Monolignols are oxidized in the cell wall by oxidative enzymes (peroxidases and/or laccases) to radicals, which then couple with the growing lignin polymer. We have investigated...
