Binary- and triple-enzyme cocktails and their application mode affect fermentable sugar release from pretreated lignocellulo-starch biomass

TL;DR: Triple-enzyme-based saccharification of steam-pretreated biomass significantly enhanced the overall conversion efficiency (OCE) and Supplementation with both xylanase and Stargen pronouncedly enhanced the OCE for steam- pretreated biomass with only insignificant difference between the exposure periods, indicating the obligatory need for both enzymes for optimal saccharified biomass.
