We must remember that lignins are tridimensional, amorphous, thermoplastic polymers and are of an aromatic nature. They are polymers derived from the co-polymerization of three following phenyl-propanoic alcohols ...: coumaryl alcohol, coniferyl alcohol ... sinapyl alcohol ... 5, record 1, English, - p%2Dcoumaryl%20alcohol

Lignin is a major component of perennial plants and is probably the second most abundant organic polymer on earth, next to cellulose. It is a widespread potential carbon source for both parasitic and saprophytic fungi. Lignin is a term given to a group of closely related, high molecular weight compounds, that are branched polymers of three substituted alcohols: p-coumaryl alcohol, coniferyl alcohol and sinapyl alcohol. 6, record 1, English, - p%2Dcoumaryl%20alcohol
