^aC_x represents the cellulosic residues, while the subscript X (4, 8, 12, and 16) represents the different incubation weeks. C₀ was obtained without the biodegradation treatment as a control; ^bABSL is abbreviation of acetyl bromide soluble lignin, and the standard deviations are less than 5%; ^cCrI was calculated based on the height of the peak corresponding to (002) lattice plane (I₀₀₂) and the minimum between 110 and 002 lattice planes (I_am) as follow: $C_{r} I (%) = \frac{I_{002} - I_{am}}{I_{am}} \times 100$ , and the standard deviations are less than 2%; ^dCrI was calculated from the ratio of the crystalline area over the total area, where separation of crystalline (86–92 ppm) and amorphous (79–86 ppm) fractions were based on Guassian line shape function, and the standard deviations are less than 2%.
