Enzymatic degradation of maize shoots: monitoring of chemical and physical changes reveals different saccharification behaviors

Abstract Background The recalcitrance of lignocellulosics to enzymatic saccharification has been related to many factors, including the tissue and molecular heterogeneity of the plant particles. The role of tissue heterogeneity generally assessed from plant sections is not easy to study on a large s...
