Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Microbial ligninolytic enzymes like laccase, manganese peroxidase, and lignin peroxidase have gained much attention in many industrial applications. Among these, manganese peroxidases are key contributors in the microbial ligninolytic system. It mainly oxidizes Mn(II) ions that remain present in wood and soils, into more reactive Mn form, stabilized by fungal chelators like oxalic acids. However, Mn acts as a diffusible redox intermediate, a low molecular weight compound, which breaks phenolic lignin and produces free radicals that have a tendency to disintegrate involuntarily. It has a great application potential and ample opportunities in diverse area, such as alcohol, pulp and paper, biofuel, agriculture, cosmetic, textile, and food industries. This review article is focused on the sources, catalytic reaction mechanisms and different biotechnological applications. However, manganese peroxidases have a potential for degradation of many xenobiotic compounds and produce polymeric products formulated them into valuable tools for bioremediation purposes. In addition, microbial MnPs can also convert lignin into biomass so that the sugar can be converted into bio-fuels. Thus, this review article is mainly focused and highlighted the current scenario and updated information on manganese peroxidase enzyme.
