Fungal enzyme systems for the degradation of plant cell wall lignin, consisting of, among others, laccases and lignin-active peroxidases, are well characterized. Additionally, fungi and bacteria contain dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyP), which are also capable of oxidizing and modifying lignin constituents. Studying DyP activity on lignocellulose poses challenges due to the heterogeneity of the substrate and the lack of continuous kinetic methods.
