  1. Data are from the cellulosic hydrolysates resulting from the enzymatic hydrolysis of straw, tops, and bagasse from four varieties of sugarcane (K, M, Q, and X) pretreated with dilute acid.
  2. Means with different subscript capital letters are significantly different (Tukey’s test, P < 0.05).
