ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to the field of lignin degradation. More specifically the invention relates to methods for selecting and isolating microorganism from nature that are capable of degrading lignin, processes for cloning a gene segment from such an organism, and methods of using the enzyme product of the gene segment to provide valuable chemical feedstocks, methanol and the like from a lignin source material.
