METHODS FOR EXTRACTING SUGARS AND LIGNIN DERIVED PRODUCTS FROM LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS MATERIAL

摘要

A method for extracting sugars and/or lignin-derived products from lignocellulosic biomass material, comprising: contacting the lignocellulosic biomass material with a composition comprising a polypeptide in the presence of a reducible substrate and an oxidising agent, wherein said polypeptide comprises an amino acid sequence that has at least 70% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or 2, or a fragment thereof; wherein said polypeptide is capable of extracting sugars and/or lignin-derived products from the lignocellulosic biomass material in the presence of a reducible substrate and an oxidising agent.
