Schematic structure of xylan. The density and types of substitutions on the backbone is highly dependent on the plant species, where hardwood GX (glucuronoxylan) is more sparsely decorated compared to grass AX (arabinoxylan) and GAX (glucuronoarabinoxylan). Feruloyl side groups may link covalently to either lignin or other feruloyl moieties on neighbouring xylan chains. Arrows indicate where feruloyl esterases (FAEs) and acetyl xylan esterases may act, respectively
