Table 4 Enhancement of Cellic CTec2 performance at a dosage resulting in about 30% glucan conversion of pretreated sugar cane bagasse by recombinant CBH in transgenic corn stover leaf extract
Pretreatment | Cellic CTec2 dosage resulting in about 30% glucan conversion (FPU/g glucan) | Cellic CTec2 dosage equivalent to the performance of Cellic CTec2 plus 5 units recombinant CBH (FPU/g glucan) | Fold increase in Cellic CTec2 performance |
