The impact of hydrogen peroxide supply on LPMO activity and overall saccharification efficiency of a commercial cellulase cocktail

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

We report saccharification rates and yields for a model substrate (Avicel) and industrial lignocellulosic substrates that, at low H₂O₂ feeding rates, are higher than those seen under standard aerobic conditions. In an industrial setting, controlling and supplying molecular oxygen and stoichiometric amounts of reductant are challenging. The present report shows that the use of small amounts of a liquid bulk chemical, H₂O₂, provides an alternative to the currently available processes, which likely is cheaper and more easy to control, while giving higher product yields.
