Abstract
Herein, a series of lignin-based porous carbons (LC) were prepared from sulfonated lignin through a simple and environmentally-friendly one-pot activated carbonization together with various potassium compounds as activators, and used for malachite green (MG) adsorption. The results showed that the prepared biochar, especially after K2CO3 activation, exhibited a honeycomb profile with large surface area (2107.6 m2/g) and high total pore volume (1.1591 cm3/g), having excellent efficiency for MG adsorption, and the biggest adsorption capacity was 2970.0 mg/g. The kinetic study together with thermodynamic analysis indicated that the adsorption of MG by LC-K2CO3 conformed to pseudo-second-order model and the adsorption process was spontaneous, feasible, and endothermic. Moreover, LC-K2CO3 also displayed good stability and selectivity, and can selective separate the cationic dye from binary-dye system. Furthermore, the adsorption mechanism proposed in this work manifested that the high-efficient MG adsorption by LC-K2CO3 was a result of multiple actions including hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction, π-π interaction and n-π interaction as well as physical absorption. The work not only provide a fundamental theory for dye removal from wastewater, but offered a new insight for lignin valorization.

Abstract
Mythology is replete with good and evil shapeshifters, who, by definition, display great adaptability and assume many different forms-with several even turning themselves into trees. Cell walls certainly fit this definition as they can undergo subtle or dramatic changes in structure, assume many shapes, and perform many functions. In this review, we cover the evolution of knowledge of the structures, biosynthesis, and functions of the 5 major cell wall polymer types that range from deceptively simple to fiendishly complex. Along the way, we recognize some of the colorful historical figures who shaped cell wall research over the past 100 years. The shapeshifter analogy emerges more clearly as we examine the evolving proposals for how cell walls are constructed to allow growth while remaining strong, the complex signaling involved in maintaining cell wall integrity and defense against disease, and the ways cell walls adapt as they progress from birth, through growth to maturation, and in the end, often function long after cell death. We predict the next century of progress will include deciphering cell type-specific wall polymers; regulation at all levels of polymer production, crosslinks, and architecture; and how walls respond to developmental and environmental signals to drive plant success in diverse environments.

Abstract
Novel synthetic strategies for the production of high-value chemicals based on the 12 principles of green chemistry are highly desired. Herein, we present a proof of concept for two novel chemo-enzymatic one-pot cascades allowing for the production of valuable fragrance and flavor aldehydes. We utilized renewable phenylpropenes, such as eugenol from cloves or estragole from estragon, as starting materials. For the first strategy, Pd-catalyzed isomerization of the allylic double bond and subsequent enzyme-mediated (aromatic dioxygenase, ADO) alkene cleavage were performed to obtain the desired aldehydes. In the second route, the double bond was oxidized to the corresponding ketone via a copper-free Wacker oxidation protocol followed by enzymatic Baeyer-Villiger oxidation (phenylacetone monooxygenase from Thermobifida fusca), esterase-mediated (esterase from Pseudomonas fluorescens, PfeI) hydrolysis and subsequent oxidation of the primary alcohol (alcohol dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas putida, AlkJ) to the respective aldehyde products. Eight different phenylpropene derivatives were subjected to these reaction sequences, allowing for the synthesis of seven aldehydes in up to 55% yield after 4 reaction steps (86% for each step).

Abstract
Lignins are the most abundant biopolymers that consist of aromatic units. Lignins are obtained by fractionation of lignocellulose in the form of "technical lignins". The depolymerization (conversion) of lignin and the treatment of depolymerized lignin are challenging processes due to the complexity and resistance of lignins. Progress toward mild work-up of lignins has been discussed in numerous reviews. The next step in the valorization of lignin is the conversion of lignin-based monomers, which are limited in number, into a wider range of bulk and fine chemicals. These reactions may need chemicals, catalysts, solvents, or energy from fossil resources. This is counterintuitive to green, sustainable chemistry. Therefore, in this review, we focus on biocatalyzed reactions of lignin monomers, e.g., vanillin, vanillic acid, syringaldehyde, guaiacols, (iso)eugenol, ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid, and alkylphenols. For each monomer, its production from lignin or lignocellulose is summarized, and, mainly, its biotransformations that provide useful chemicals are discussed. The technological maturity of these processes is characterized based on, e.g., scale, volumetric productivities, or isolated yields. The biocatalyzed reactions are compared with their chemically catalyzed counterparts if the latter are available.
