Removal of glucuronic acid from xylan is a strategy to improve the conversion of plant biomass to sugars for bioenergy
Abstract Background Plant lignocellulosic biomass can be a source of fermentable sugars for the production of second generation biofuels and biochemicals. The recalcitrance of this plant material is one of the major obstacles in its conversion into sugars. Biomass is primarily composed of secondary...
