    Lignin of high purity and structural integrity was isolated from the enzymatic residue of corn stover. Degradation of the lignin by laccase, lignin peroxidase, and manganese peroxidase was investigated. Structural changes in the lignin after degradation were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and the enzymatic products were systematically analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The highest percentage of lignin degradation was obtained with a mixture of three enzymes (25.79%): laccase (Lac), the starting enzyme of the mixed enzyme reaction, worked with lignin peroxidase (LiP), and manganese peroxidase (MnP) to further degrade lignin. This degradation destroyed the macromolecular structure of lignin, broke its key chemical bonds, and opened benzene rings, thus producing more acidic compounds. This study elucidated the concept of degrading lignin from corn stover using the Lac, LiP and MnP enzymes synergistically, thus providing a theoretical basis for the biodegradation of lignin.
