Lignin is the most abundant natural aromatic polymer on Earth, and its conversion into value-added chemicals has attracted considerable interest as a sustainable alternative to petroleum-derived aromatics. Coupling chemical depolymerization with microbial catabolic pathways has emerged as a promising strategy for lig...

4-hydroxybenzoate (HBA) is an aromatic component that forms the basis of great number of specialty plastics and fine chemicals. In pursuit of a greener and sustainable production, this article described Pseudomonas sp. NGC7, which has been metabolically engineered for the production of HBA from a mixture of aromatic co...

The engineered strain provided a metabolically rewired SYK-6 strain as a platform for the valorization of industrial lignin streams and suggest that overcoming physiological and metabolic constraints can enable non-model aromatic-degrading bacteria to function as industrial production hosts.
