Degradation Techniques of Hemicellulose Fraction from Biomass Feedstock for Optimum Xylose Production: A Review

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of xylose yield optimization methods is presented, with specific benefits and drawbacks that are also addressed in this paper. But these methods are slightly different from the methods for glucose production, as the production of glucose is initiated by delignification to facilitate enzyme accessibility in degrading cellulose to glucose.

Effects of growth-promoters on the productivity of Arundo donax L. (NileFiber™) as a purpose-grown biofuel feedstock in Nova Scotia1

TL;DR: This study suggests that A. donax is not well suited as a biomass feedstock crop in Nova Scotia due to its low overwintering survivability and growth-promoters did not enhance biomass productivity substantially in the field.
