Ligninolytic extracellular enzymes including lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase have high redox potential and many biotechnological applications. The prospective applications of lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase span through a lot of sectors like textile industry, paper and pulp industry, dermatology, biorefinery and bioremediation. They have wide range of applications due to their versatility in degradation of phenolic and non-phenolic compounds. Over the years, ligninolytic extracellular enzymes have been studied but still research on these peroxidases seems to be lagging behind as compared to other peroxidases. Thereby, a documentation of sources and applications of lignin peroxidases and manganese peroxidases has been given in this review.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
