Lignin valorization is viewed as a key for the development of a cost effective lignocellulosic biorefinery, and synthetic biology tools would play an important role in the construction of an efficient chassis towards this goal. In this study, we have employed a hybrid promoter engineering approach for the construction of higher strength phenolics inducible promoters.
