The main focus of the research is finding ways to turn lignin, a substance often leftover in making biofuels, into useful products. Researchers are working on using microbes to break down lignin into smaller parts, convert them into valuable materials, and create products like fuels. They have made significant progress in figuring out how to dismantle lignin, use its components, and make new products from them. By exploring these new methods, there is hope to transform lignin waste into valuable resources, making biorefineries more sustainable and economically viable in the process.
