Cellulose Structure and Hydrolysis

Understanding the conversion of biomass to ethanol begins with understanding the structural and chemical complexity of the three primary polymers that make up plant cell walls: Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin Enzymes such as cellulases, hemicellulases, and other glycosyl hydrolases synthesized by fungi and bacteria work together in a synergistic fashion to degrade the structural polysaccharides in biomass.
