²⁾X, treatment with 3 U/g Xyn; X+A, treatment with combination of 3 U/g Xyn and 0.001 U/g Afd; X+F, treatment with combination of 3 U/g Xyn and 0.006 U/g FE; X+A+F, treatment with combination of 3 U/g Xyn, 0.001 U/g Afd and 0.006 U/g FE.

³⁾The value of synergy degree between multiple enzymes was calculated as the ratio of the sum of the activities (generation amount of hydrolysate) of all enzymes to the activity of one of these enzymes.

^a–cValues with different superscripts within the same column differ significantly (p<0.05).
