Velev and Ph.D. student Alexander Richter discovered that silver-based nanoparticles can be replaced with non-harmful nanoparticles based on an organic polymer called lignin, naturally found in most plants.

韦列夫和博士生亚历山大·里希特发现银纳米颗粒可以被无害的纳米粒子所代替，它是一种名叫木质的有机高子，绝大多数植物中都能够发现这种物质。

This tissue is what allows modern trees to grow tall and straight, because it contains lignin, a rigid organic polymer that gives the plant structural support.

这种组织使现代树木能够长得又高又直，因为它含有木质， 一种为植物提供结构支撑的刚性有机聚合物。

And back in the Carboniferous, many of the decomposing microbes that could break down the hardy lignin -- and release CO2 as a result -- had yet to evolve.

回到石炭纪，许多可以解坚硬木质并因此释放二氧化碳的解微生物尚未进化。

Their ability to grow so tall is the result of lignin, a chemical that is the building block of wood, which first appeared in plants as early as 400 million years ago.

它们之所以能长得这么高， 是因为木质，一种构成木材的化物质， 早在 4 亿年前就出现在植物中。

While wood is made up of the same nutritious carbohydrate called cellulose that makes up other tasty tree parts, most of the cellulose in wood is bound together by a complex molecule called lignin.

To avoid taking those extra steps, expert composters might add extra wood chips or paper products to the pile, since they have a lot of lignin — a tough component of plant cell walls which doesn't contain any nitrogen at all.

为了避免这些额外的步骤，专业的堆肥者可能会往堆肥中再加入一些木屑或者纸质品，因为它们含有大量木质，一种完全不含氮的坚韧的植物细胞壁成。

Insects like termites can go whole hog on the whole log, because they can " chew" the wood with their serrated mandibles AND also have the right gut machinery - AKA microbes - to break the lignin down on the molecular level.

像白蚁这样的昆虫可以吃掉整根原木，因为它们可以用锯齿状的下颚“咀嚼” 木材，并且还有合适的肠道机制——也就是微生物——在子水平上解木质。
