Title: In situ micro-spectroscopic investigation of lignin in poplar cell walls pretreated by maleic acid

Journal Article · · Biotechnology for Biofuels

In higher plant cells, lignin provides necessary physical support for plant growth and resistance to attack by microorganisms. For the same reason, lignin is considered to be a major impediment to the process of deconstructing biomass to simple sugars by hydrolytic enzymes. Furthermore, the in situ variation of lignin in plant cell walls is important for better understanding of the roles lignin play in biomass recalcitrance.
