- Abstract
Recalcitrance to saccharifi cation is a major limiting factor of the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol. Levels of wood saccharification and subsequent ethanol production were higher in transgenic mangium ( Acacia mangium) trees overexpressing xyloglucanase than in wild-type plants, even after delignification of the wood. We propose that a decrease in the quantity of xyloglucan that is intercalated into cellulose microfibrils could facilitate the process of saccharification.
