Effect of alkaline lignin modification on cellulase–lignin interactions and enzymatic saccharification yield

Abstract Background The lignin can compete for binding cellulase enzymes with cellulose fibers and decrease the accessibility of enzymes to carbohydrates. The competitive adsorption of cellulase to lignin mainly depended on the chemical structure of lignin. The post-pretreatment can decrease the lig...
