Scanning electron microscopy surface images of the sugarcane bagasse. (a) Native (b) Oxalic acid pretreated (c) Enzymatic hydrolysed. Compacted surface of cell wall showing waxes and deposits in native SB, disruption of cell wall was more evident after oxalic acid mediated pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis.
