Processes based on lignocellulose are essential for developing a bio-based sustainable economy, with a focus on exploring high-value utilization of lignin. Transforming lignin into high-value products is possible, but there are challenges and limitations associated with thermochemical or biological transformation platforms.
Lignocellulose based processes consist of technology platforms for production of materials and products for developing a bio-based, sustainable economy. Production of sugar streams and ethanol from cellulose is a mature technology, and its deployment results in increased lignin availability. Although lignin is used for low-value applications, its high-value utilization needs to be explored and developed. The aromatic intermediates from lignin can be transformed into high-value products. The unique structural/chemical properties of lignin offer possibilities for valorization, which can be achieved through thermochemical or biological transformation platforms, each route having its pros and cons. Lignin degrading oragnisms hold promise for biovalorization. In this work, different categories of organisms (fungi and bacteria) capable of degrading lignin, possessing unique repertoires of enzymes have been discussed. Under natural niches consortium of organisms decay lignin as a single organism does not possess all the activities. The constraints in biological processing can be addressed by using a combination of processes for lignin depolymerization to aromatic intermediates, followed by their conversion to target products. The recent devised metabolic engineering strategies to tackle these challenges are reviewed. Ultimately, the success of biorefineries will be dictated by the technical feasibility of bioconversions, robustness of engineered organisms, and their ability to produce the desired products in high titers with relatively high purity, scalability, and overall economics.
