Record description

Title: The eLignin Microbial Database
DOI: https://doi.org/10.82595/scilifelab.07nth-nyy11
Description: eLignin is a curated database of scientific knowledge on microbial degradation of lignin and lignin-derived aromatic compounds. It aims to bring the literature together in a searchable resource to support exploration of the organisms, substrates, pathways, reactions, enzymes, genes, transporters, and references that describe microbial lignin catabolism. The original eLignin database was developed in a Lund University research project on lignin valorisation, funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (2015–2020). The original closed-source LAMP application was deployed from 2016 until 2023. In 2026, eLignin was refactored into an open-source, single-container Django application, designed for deployment on [SciLifeLab Serve](https://serve.scilifelab.se/).
