AFEX increases the extractability (a) and digestibility (b) of CS. Here, a extractability is measured by total sugar intensity from all extracts from sequential extractions. On the top is the untreated CS and in the bottom is the AFEX-CS. The Y-axis shows the ratio of total sugar intensity versus g of biomass in thousands (*1000). All antibody groups used for ELISA screening are shown on the right side of the heat map. b Digestibility of untreated and AFEX-CS as total glucan-to-glucose yields after 24 and 168Â h are shown in white and red bars, respectively. Total xylan-to-xylose yields after 24 and 168Â h are shown in gray and blue bars, respectively. Error bars depict standard deviations of data from the mean values reported for assays conducted in triplicate
