ABSTRACT

The nonproductive adsorption of cellulase onto lignin significantly inhibited the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, we constructed a rapid fluorescence detection (RFD) system, and using this system, we demonstrated that the addition of cationic additives DTAB or polyDADMAC greatly increased the partition coefficients of cellulose/lignin, reduced nonproductive adsorption, and enhanced the hydrolysis efficiency of lignocellulose compared to those of Tweens or PEGs. Moreover, the addition of polyDADMAC and DTAB increased the glucose yield released from the mixture of Avicel and AICS-lignin (MCL) by 16.9 and 20.6%, respectively, and reduced the inhibition rate of lignin by 16.9 and 20.7%, respectively. Interestingly, polyDADMAC or DTAB treatment performed more effectively for the enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated lignocellulosic biomass, compared with MCL. We confirmed that the reduced hydrophobicity and increased zeta potential of lignin cocontribute to the dampening nonproductive adsorption of lignin. In particular, the zeta potential values of lignin and the partition coefficients of Avicel/lignin with the addition of additives showed a good correlation, suggesting that electrostatic force also plays a crucial role in the adsorbing of cellulase on lignin. This work will be conducive to decreasing the nonproductive binding of cellulase onto lignin and enhancing cellulose conversion.
