  1. At 10% solid loading and enzyme loadings# of 9 FPU/g substrate using crude cellulase enzymes and formulated enzyme cocktails.
  2. #Enzyme loadings of fixed concentration (9FPU/g substrate) for respective biomass were obtained directly from the crude enzyme from the respective biomass sources. In each case, the final enzyme loadings were calculated based on the enzyme activities shown in Table 1. Commercial enzymes (Celluclast 1.5 L and Novozyme 188) were also tested for comparison. Each value represents the mean ± standard error; values with no common letter in a column (calculated separately for respective time, biomass, and pretreatment) are significantly different at p < 0.05.
