Claim: Lignin peroxidase produced by some fungi like Phanerochaete chrysosporium degrades Lignin which is otherwise highly resistant to biodegradation.
Evidence: Lignin is found to be degraded by enzyme lignin peroxidases produced by some fungi like Phanerochaete chrysosporium. Lignin is highly resistant to biodegradation and only higher fungi and some bacteria are capable of degrading the polymer via an oxidative process.
