| Abstract | Enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass is limited by rapid cellulase deactivation, consequently requiring large amounts of enzyme to maintain acceptable biomass conversion. In this study, a new approach to improve lignocellulose hydrolysis was investigated. Performing enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover (CS) in the presence of polymeric–surfactant micelles (PMs) was demonstrated to improve hydrolysis yield to a greater extent than using only surfactant micelles. Application of 2 % (w/w) of polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000) with casein, Tween-20, and Triton X-100 at levels above the critical micelle concentrations increased the hydrolysis yield of CS containing high-bound lignin (extrusion-pretreated) by up to 87.8, 11.7, and 7.5 %, respectively. These PMs were not effective during enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass lacking lignin (Avicel) or alkali-pretreated CS (7.2 % lignin). The main reasons for the enhanced cellulase activity observed due to PEG-casein, PEG-Tween, and PEG-Triton were enhanced cellulase solubilization; reformation of α-helix substructure; and combination of induced cellulase solubilization, α-helix reformation, and chemical changes in the microstructure of biomass, respectively. Deformation of the cellulase substructure during hydrolysis of biomass and its subsequent reformation in the presence of surfactants were shown in this study for the first time. Chemical changes in the microstructure of biomass (e.g., lignin side changes, C–O bonds, and amorphous cellulose) were found to be another potential reason for the effectiveness of surfactants when they are incubated at above 6 g/L for 72 h with biomass. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
