Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Cellulose and hemicellulose made up 53.1% and 63.3% of the dry weight of control ryegrass leaf and stem cell walls.
- Observation Glucose was the major neutral monosaccharide in leaf and stem cell walls of perennial ryegrass.
- Intervention effect Fermentation with Neocallimastix sp. CS3b left smaller amounts of neutral sugars in treated cell walls than in undigested cell walls.
- Observation Sugar content of leaf cell walls decreased before a decline in the sugar content of stem cell walls.
- Observation Growth of Neocallimastix sp. CS3b was completed in 4 days in the culture system.
- Observation No significant differences were found in the final extent of degradation of glucose, xylose and arabinose.
- Observation Galactose was degraded to a lesser extent than the other neutral sugars.
