Endophytic Fungi as Pretreatment to Enhance Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Olive Tree Pruning

Table 5

Global solid recovery yield of all sequential treatments (i.e., nonacid hydrolysis: fungal treatment + alkali extraction; acid hydrolysis: fungal treatment + alkali extraction + acid hydrolysis) and total sugar yield reported as g of solid material (solid yield) or g of sugars (sugar yield) per 100 g of initial untreated OTP biomass.
