The small-angle X-ray scattering analysis of expansin treated hardwood pulp. a SAXS intensities presented in the form of a Kratky plot. b The center-to-center distance between fibrils was determined by measuring the location of the peak maximum in the Kratky plot. The two reference samples (i.e., No EXLX and BSA-treated samples) are shown on the left. Error bars indicate standard deviations for parallel samples collected in triplicate. Asterisks (*) indicate statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05; two-tailed t-test) increase in the center–center distance of fibrils in EXLX vs. BSA-treated pulp samples
