Assay methods and colorimetric screens for lignin-degrading microbes and lignin-oxidising enzymes.
Assaying enzymes and microbes for activity for degradation of polymeric lignin is inherently challenging to do. This article describes several methods that our research group has developed for assay of lignin-oxidising enzymes and lignin-degrading microbes. The assay methods involve (1) colorimetric assays involving chemically nitrated lignin; (2) changes in molecular weight using gel filtration chromatography; (3) delignification of lignocellulose using Klason assay; (4) colorimetric assays for release of low molecular weight phenols and carbonyl compounds.
期刊介绍:
The critically acclaimed laboratory standard for almost 50 years, Methods in Enzymology is one of the most highly respected publications in the field of biochemistry. Each volume is eagerly awaited, frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and reviewers alike. Now with over 500 volumes the series contains much material still relevant today and is truly an essential publication for researchers in all fields of life sciences, including microbiology, biochemistry, cancer research and genetics-just to name a few. Five of the 2013 Nobel Laureates have edited or contributed to volumes of MIE.
