Lignin valorization by bacterial genus Pseudomonas: State-of-the-art review and prospects

The most prominent aromatic feedstock on Earth is lignin, however, lignin valorization still an underrated subject. principal preparatory strategies for are fragmentation and depolymerization which help in the production of fuels chemicals. Owing to lignin’s structural heterogeneity, these result product generation requires tedious separation purification extract target products. bacterial genus Pseudomonas has been dominant its potency, owing a robust enzymatic machinery that used funnel variable derivatives into certain products such as polyhydroxyalkanotes (PHAs) cis, cis-muconic acid (MA). In this review, potential critically reviewed along with advanced genetic techniques tools ease use lignin/lignin-model compounds synthesis bioproducts. This review also highlights research gaps biovalorization discuss challenges possibilities future research.
