For a successful refining of lignocellulosic biomass in production of bioethanol, it needs a delignification step to increase production of sugar. In this study, we use Laccase enzyme (as environment-friendly pretreatment) to pretreat sawdust and evaluate the degree of delignification after pretreat...
