Efficient modification and decrystallization of cellulose Iβ in lignocellulosic biomass are potential ways to overcome biomass recalcitrance and facilitates enzymatic degradation. Herein, we have treated moso bamboo and microcrystalline cellulose separately by either alkali or ethylenediamine (EDA) treatments, as well as using both in succession. The pretreatments successfully transformed the initial cellulose Iβ allomorph into cellulose II, III_I, and cellulose III_II. Crystal structures and crystallinities were determined by Rietveld X-ray diffraction and CP/MAS ¹³C NMR. Comparatively, the samples that were sequentially treated by EDA and NaOH had low crystallinity (~50%), larger d-spacings of ~4.4 Å for the hydrophobic (110) planes, and less condensed microfibrillar aggregation. The factors simultaneously contributed to as high enzymatic hydrolysis yield as 89.5% and 91.7% respectively, followed by the yields of mercerized cellulose II and cellulose III_II allomorph. Here, the stepwise allomorphic transformations may provide new strategies on improving efficiency of saccharification process and biomass utilization.
