Why does *in vitro* lignin depolymerization by fungal laccases rarely work out? A presentation by Elena Gugole at #ICP2023 in Nantes offered a very satisfying answer:
When fungi degrade lignin, they do so in concert with cellulose degradation, where the phenolic radicals from lignin breakdown are used as electron acceptors by glucose dehydrogenases. *In vitro, *outside the context of cellulose degradation, those radicals re-polymerise instead. #plantscience #cellwall
