BackgroundIncreasing greenhouse gas emissions and diminishing supplies of fossil‐derived fuels underline the need for environmentally sustainable energy resources. Lignocellulose, more generically named simply as plant biomass, represents one of the most abundant renewable resources for biofuels. Lignocellulosic biomass from forest residues, agro‐wastes and energy grasses is extensively exploited for bioenergy production. This renewable biomass source is abundant, highly accessible, relatively cheap and diversifies the energy matrix (Marriott et al., 2016). Grass lignocellulosic material consists mostly of secondary cell walls and is composed mainly of cellulose (25%–55%), hemicellulose xylan (20%–50%), lignin (10%–35%) and small amount of pectin, depending on plant species, organ, cell types and developmental stage of the tissue. Although pectin is a minor cell wall component, there is increasing evidence suggesting that pectic polysaccharides are involved in cell wall recalcitrance (Biswal et al., 2018).
