The breakdown of lignin by fungi is a key step during carbon recycling in terrestrial
ecosystems. This process is of great interest for green and white biotechnological
applications. Given the importance of these enzymatic processes, we have classified the
enzymes potentially involved in lignin catabolism into sequence-based families and
integrated them in a newly developed database, designated Fungal Oxidative Lignin
enzymes (FOLy). Families were defined after sequence similarity searches starting from�…
