Lignin and the formation of wood

  • Published:
Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Zusammenfassung

Lignin kann in seiner ursprünglichen Form durch Abbau von Holz mit Hilfe von Zellulose-zerstörenden Pilzen und darauffolgender Extraktion mit kaltem Alkohol isoliert werden. Die Verbindung stellt enzymatisch freigesetztes Lignin dar. Im verholzenden Gewebe entsteht das Lignin aus photosynthetisch gebildeter Glukose über Shikimisäure undp-Hydroxyphenyl-Brenztraubensäure.
