Introduction of chemically labile substructures into Arabidopsis lignin through the use of LigD, the C-dehydrogenase from Sphingobium sp strain SYK-6

Bacteria-derived enzymes that can modify specific lignin substructures are potential targets to engineer plants for better biomass processability. The Gram-negative bacterium Sphingobium sp. SYK-6 possesses a Ca-dehydrogenase (LigD) enzyme that has been shown to oxidize the a-hydroxy functionalities...
