For the first time ever, researchers have discovered how microbes break down hemicellulose plant matter into simple sugars using a cow rumen bacterium as a model. For the first time ever, University ...

This research investigates the chemical composition, thermal stability, and structural characteristics of hemicellulose and LCCs extracted from bamboo green, core, and yellow tissues, revealing key ...

New findings about the building blocks of plant fibers open the door to advances in material engineering as well as food and agriculture, a Swedish-Australian research collaboration reported. The ...

Plant cell walls are complex structures composed mostly of lignocellulose—the most abundant organic material on Earth—which is a matrix of cross-linked polysaccharide networks, glycosylated proteins, ...
