FTIR plots of alkali-pretreated corn stover incubated with casein and skim milk in solution of aqueous citrate buffer for 72 h (a); FTIR plots of lime-pretreated corn stover incubated with casein and skim milk in solution of aqueous citrate buffer for 72 h (b); FTIR plots of dilute acid-pretreated corn stover incubated with casein and skim milk in solution of aqueous citrate buffer for 72 h (c); FTIR plots of extrusion-pretreated corn stover incubated with casein and skim milk in solution of aqueous citrate buffer for 72 h (d); FTIR plots of AFEX-pretreated corn stover incubated with casein and skim milk in solution of aqueous citrate buffer for 72 h (e). Bracket sign demonstrates the amount of protein adsorbed on biomass.
