Initial reaction rates during enzymatic hydrolysis of alkaline-sulfite pretreated sugarcane bagasse by several enzyme mixtures

Enzyme mixture used in the hydrolysis experiment	Initial hydrolysis rate (% h−1)*
	Glucan	Xylan
T. reesei 100 % (10 FPU/g)	11.1 ± 0.4 (a)	9.9 ± 0.4 (a)
T. reesei 50 % (5 FPU/g)	7.3 ± 0.2 (b)	6.6 ± 0.2 (b)
T. reesei 25 % (2.5 FPU/g)	4.2 ± 0.3 (c)	4.0 ± 0.2 (c)
T. reesei (50 %) + L. sulphureus (50 %)	11.5 ± 0.3 (a)	11.2 ± 0.4 (ad)
T. reesei (50 %) + P. ostreatus (50 %)	11.8 ± 0.4 (a)	12.0 ± 0.3 (dd)
T. reesei (50 %) + T. emersonii (50 %)	9.0 ± 0.3 (d)	6.0 ± 0.2 (b)

In each column, the values with the same letters do not differ among themselves at significance level of 0.05

* Mean values were compared based on Tukey’s test (p < 0.01)
