The degradation pathway for the most important p-0-4 lignin substructure with a white rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, was investigated, and the following conclusions were obtained, a) The allyl alcohol end group attached to the P-O-4 substructure was degraded to a formyl group via sl glycerol group, b) Arylglycerol was formed by the cleavage of the P-O-4 substructure without involvement of the hydroxylation
