Solubility of cellulose is critical for the use of this abundant biomass as biofuel. Xylan is the major constituent of hemicellulose which is the second most abundant polysaccharide in plants. Several enzymes are needed for making cellulose soluble via complete hydrolysis. Among those are cellulase, xylanase and AXE. | Solubility of cellulose is critical for the use of this abundant biomass as biofuel.
