  1. The results are shown as the sugar concentration (g/L) and hydrolysis yield in terms of the total sugar concentration (%). The hydrolysis and HPAEC-PAD analysis conditions are described in the ‘Materials and methods’ section. As a control, the sugar released from the biomass that was incubated without any enzyme preparation is also shown. Numbers shown in brackets are standard deviations of the means.
  2. aXylose and arabinose at a low concentration (0.03 g/L; 0.12% yield) were released solely for the hydrolysis performed by the A. cellulolyticus-A. awamori enzyme blend.
