Background The native recalcitrance of plants hinders the biomass conversion process using current biorefinery techniques. Down-regulation of the caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene in the lignin biosynthesis pathway of switchgrass reduced the thermochemical and biochemical conversion recalcitrance of biomass. Due to potential environmental influences on lignin biosynthesis and deposition,...
The influence of cellulose accessibility and protein loading on the efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis of steam pretreated Douglas-fir was assessed. It was apparent that the lignin component significantly influences the swelling/accessibility of cellulose as at low protein loadings (5FPU/g cellulose), only 16% of the cellulose present in the steam pretreated softwood was hydrolyzed while almost complete...
