C&EN: Genomics Of White Rot Fungi Yields New Enzymes, Explains End Of Major Coal Formation
A comparative study of the genomes of 31 fungi has shed light on how white rot fungi evolved the ability to degrade the recalcitrant plant biopolymer lignin (Science, DOI: 10.1126/science.1221748).

Biomass is renewable organic material that comes from plants and animals. Biomass can be burned directly for heat or converted to liquid and gaseous fuels through various processes.
Biomass is material produced by the growth of microorganisms, plants or animals. [1] Beyond this general definition, there are differences in how the term is used and applied depending on industry or subject-matter norms.
Biomass, the weight or total quantity of living organisms of a species (species biomass) or of all the species in a community (community biomass), commonly referred to a unit area or volume of habitat.
Biomass is any organic material that comes from plants or animals and can be used as a source of energy. Wood, crop residues, food waste, manure, and even algae all qualify.
Biomass is organic, meaning it is made of material that comes from living organisms, such as plants and animals. The most common biomass materials used for energy are plants, wood and waste.
