Table 4 The predicted kinetic parameters for C. homosphaera enzymatic hydrolysis yields at a 1.5 IU/g endoglucanase load and final β-glucosidase loads of 7.5, 15.0 and 22.5 IU/g

From: Untreated Chlorella homosphaera biomass allows for high rates of cell wall glucan enzymatic hydrolysis when using exoglucanase-free cellulases
