Aromatic diketones are a major product of formic acid lignin depolymerization. Novosphingobium aromaticivorans can degrade these diketones, but the enzymes used in this process were unknown. We used RNA-Seq to identify aromatic dimer dehydrogenases as potential candidates for the initial reduction o...
