Peroxidase application reduces microcrystalline cellulose recalcitrance towards cellulase hydrolysis in model cellulose substrates and rooibos biomass

We have identified a HRP enzyme with microcrystalline cellulose activity, which has not yet been explored. The current study investigated the effect of HRP pretreatment on the microcrystalline cellulose substrates, Avicel and filter paper. SEM findings showed that HRP pretreatment catalysed the para...
