Microorganisms and Enzymes Used in the Biological Pretreatment of the Substrate to Enhance Biogas Production: A Review (2020, background): “Due to the fact that microbial enzymes are efficient in degrading lignocellulosic compounds, BP is known as one of the best ways of degrading this type of biomass, even though the enzymatic reaction rate is very slow [56].”
Recent advances in pretreatment of lignocellulosic wastes and production of value added products (2009, neutral): “…plastic composites, cosmetics, biosorbent, resins, medicines, foods and feeds, methane, biopesticides, biopromoters, secondary metabolites, surfactants, fertilizer and other miscellaneous products (Tengerdy and Szakacs, 2003; Mtui, 2007; Ubalua, 2007; Galbe and Zacchi, 2007; Demirbas, 2008).”

Hemicelluloses for fuel ethanol: A review. (2010, background): “The employment of catalysts are particularly important for softwoods (typically less acetylated), resulting in lower treatment temperatures and shorter reaction times, thereby improving hemicellulose recovery and reducing the formation of sugar degradation products (Boussaid et al., 2001; Bura et al”
