The influence of lignin on the enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated biomass substrates

During the “enzymatic hydrolysis of the cellulose” component of the overall lignocelluloses-to-bioethanol process, lignin has been shown to be a very influential factor, acting as both a physical barrier and limiting hydrolysis through the adsorption of cellulases. Although hydrophobic, electrostati...
