Particulate Size of Microalgal Biomass Affects Hydrolysate Properties and Bioethanol Concentration

Figure 4

Hydrolysate viscosity profiles during hydrolysis for single-enzyme (Case 1: cellulase) and double-enzyme (Case 2: cellulase + cellobiase) conditions. The viscosity of the hydrolysates in both cases decreased with hydrolysis time. The data presented is for assay number 1 in both cases (substrate concentration: 25 g/L).
