Abstract
⸠A laccase-mediator treatment removed lignin from whole woody and nonwoody feedstocks. ⸠A high-redox potential laccase and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (as mediator) were used. ⸠This laccase-mediator treatment was combined with an alkaline peroxide extraction. ⸠2D NMR analyses revealed oxidative removal of lignin aromatic units and side-chains. ⸠The enzymatic pretreatment increased the sugar and ethanol yields.
