SANS investigation of fungal loosenins reveals substrate-dependent impacts of protein action on the inter-microfibril arrangement of cellulosic substrates [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels and BioproductsBackground Microbial expansin-related proteins include fungal loosenins, which have been previously shown to disrupt cellulose networks and enhance the enzymatic conversion of cellulosic substrates.

Anisotropic Transparency of Alkali‐Treated Wood
Macromolecular Materials and EngineeringThis study elucidates the mechanism by which alkali treatment enhances the transparency of delignified wood, with a focus on the cellulose microfibril skeleton. Following delignification, the resulting material remains translucent due to light scattering

The pattern of xylan acetylation suggests xylan may interact with cellulose microfibrils as a twofold helical screw in the secondary plant cell wall of Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
, 2014 The interaction between xylan and cellulose microfibrils is important for secondary cell wall properties in vascular plants; however, the molecular arrangement of xylan in the cell wall and the nature of the molecular bonding between the polysaccharides ...

The in silico study of the COBRA gene family in sugarcane related to potential biomass content
Menara Perkebunan, 2022 Sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) is potential as a biofuel and biomaterial source for its high cellulose content. Cellulose is the main constituent of the plant cell wall, as a linear chain arranged in a polysaccharide bundle, called cellulose microfibril.

Microfibrillated Cellulose Suspension and Its Electrorheology [PDF]
Polymers, 2019 Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) particles were synthesized by a low-pressure alkaline delignification process, and their shape and chemical structure were investigated by SEM and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy, respectively. As a novel electrorheological (ER) material, the MFC particulate sample was suspended in insulating oil to ...
