Structure of cellulose within the plant cell wall. The plant cell is surrounded by a recalcitrant cell wall composed of cellulose (β-1,4-coupled glucose monomers) aggregated into microfibrils (black). Microfibrils are crosslinked by hemicelluloses (red) and the resulting polysaccharide network is embedded in lignin (brown).
