Hemicelluloses negatively affect lignocellulose crystallinity for high biomass digestibility under NaOH and H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> pretreatments in <it>Miscanthus</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Lignocellulose is the most abundant biomass on earth. However, biomass recalcitrance has become a major factor affecting biofuel production. Although cellulose crystallinity significantly influences biomass saccharification, little i...
