Title: A-xylosidase enhanced conversion of plant biomass into fermentable sugars

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1281032

The invention relates to increasing the availability of fermentable sugars from plant biomass, such as glucose and xylose. As described herein, .alpha.-xylosidases can be employed with cellulases to enhance biomass conversion into free, fermentable sugar residues.
