Single-molecular insights into the breakpoint of cellulose nanofibers assembly during saccharification

Lignocellulose recalcitrance hampers its utilization for the production of biofuels and biosourced chemicals. Here, the authors reveal that the amorphous cellulose is the breakpoint of interact microfibrils and propose OsFC16/CESA9 as the engineering target to increase saccharification ability.
