Mechanistic insights into morphological and chemical changes during benzenesulfonic acid pretreatment and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process for ethanol production

[Display omitted] •SSF process of BA-treated MS was conducted with 47.45 g/L production of ethanol.•Massive removal of hemicellulose and lignin were visualized in situ by FM and CRM.•G units depolymerized more easily than S units during BA pretreatment.•The relative content of H units increased due...
