Literature has shown that oil palm leaves (OPL) can be transformed into nanocellulose (NC) by fungal lignocellulosic enzymes, particularly those produced by the Trichoderma species. However, mechanism of b-glucosidase and xylanase selectivity to degrade lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose in OPL for...
