Designer biomass for next-generation biorefineries: leveraging recent insights into xylan structure and biosynthesis

Abstract Xylans are the most abundant noncellulosic polysaccharides in lignified secondary cell walls of woody dicots and in both primary and secondary cell walls of grasses. These polysaccharides, which comprise 20–35% of terrestrial biomass, present major challenges for the efficient microbial bio...
