Fig. 9From: Overproduction of native endo-β-1,4-glucanases leads to largely enhanced biomass saccharification and bioethanol production by specific modification of cellulose features in transgenic riceHypothetical model for the involvement of OsGH9B1 and OsGH9B3 in postmodification of cellulose microfibrils. Expression of OsGH9B1 and OsGH9B3 proteins remarkably increased the reducing ends of cellulose microfibrils, causing the reduced DP and CrI of cellulose, leading to the largely enhanced biomass saccharification and bioethanol production in the transgenic plantsBack to article page
