Figure 8From: Formulation of enzyme blends to maximize the hydrolysis of alkaline peroxide pretreated alfalfa hay and barley straw by rumen enzymes and commercial cellulasesChange in glucan conversion plotted against change in xylan conversion for Accellerase XC (a) and optimized Accellerase XC (b) over 120 h of incubation with pretreated barley straw (2% biomass load). Xylose released plotted against acetate released by Accellerase XC (c) and optimized Accellerase XC (d), from pretreated barley straw (2% biomass load) over 120 h of incubation. Optimized Accellerase XC composition was identical to those used in Figure 3c. Enzymes were included at 15 mg/g glucan. Error bars represent SD of the mean (n = 8).Back to article page
