This review discusses the components of wood as they are found in the raw substrate, including molecular structures and properties. A detailed summary of the biochemistry and genetics of ligninolytic systems and peroxide-generating enzymes is well rewritten and timely.

Appl Environ Microbiol 1998, 64:3536-3538. Expression of genes relevant to biopulping was quantified using magnetic beads to capture mRNA encoding ligninolytic enzymes. Data suggest that some genes previously believed to be highly expressed during biological pulping may be highly dependent on the species of wood being processed. For example, carbon starvation induces lipD, whereas nitrogen limitation appears to induce lipA, lipC, and lipJ. Unlike many studies, this investigation examined gene expression in wood rather than under cultural conditions. Data suggest that genes such as lipD and LipE are not actively involved in biopulping.
