The Diagram illustrates the structural organization of the plant cell wall. Enzymatic degradation of cellulose is protected by hemicelluloses and lignin. (A) Simple chemical composition of cellulose as glucose polymer and three types of cellulases for its enzymatic degradation. (B) Various components of hemicellulose with xylose backbone and multiple sets enzymes for its enzymatic hydrolysis.
