description: Additional file 1: Figure S1. Box and whisker plot for sugar yields at varying AFEX pretreatment conditions on Agave biomass. Here, % sugar yields (glucose and xylose) from the whole set of experiments (DoE) for each biomass, minimum and maximum values, as well as the interquartile range, are shown. Enzyme hydrolysis was carried at 1% glucan loading, using Cellic® CTec2 (9 mg protein/g glucan) and Cellic® HTec2 (6 mg protein/g glucan), pH 4.8, 250 rpm and 50 °C. Figure S2. SEM Images for untreated and AFEX-pretreated A. tequilana bagasse. Here, untreated (left), AFEX treated (right). Figure S3. Effects of AFEX parameters on monomeric sugar conversions from A. salmiana bagasse. Here, glucan conversion A to C (green) and xylan conversion D to F (blue). Figure S4. Effects of AFEX parameters on monomeric sugar conversions from fibers of two agave species leaves. Here, glucan conversion A to C (green) and xylan conversion D to F (blue). Figure S5. Ternary contour plots showing effects of varying the ratio of commercial enzymes on sugar conversion. Glucan conversion (left column) and xylan conversion (right column) to monomeric sugars from the four AFEX-pretreated agave feedstocks. Here, (a) A. tequilana bagasse, (b) A. tequilana leaf fibers, (c) A. salmiana bagasse and (d) A. salmiana leaf fibers. Enzymatic hydrolysis was conducted at different enzyme mixtures with CTec3, HTec3 and Multifect Pectinase at 6% glucan loading, at total enzyme loading of 20 mg of protein/g glucan, pH 5.0, 250 rpm and 72 h. Figure S6. Monomeric glucose release during high solids loading EH of pretreated A. tequilana leaf fiber. As a function of enzyme loading at 20% total solids. Figure S7. Different untreated and pretreated agave residues. Here, A. tequilana bagasse (untreated) (A), A. tequilana bagasse (AFEX treated) (B), A. salmiana bagasse (untreated) (C), A. salmiana bagasse (AFEX treated) (D), A. tequilana leaf fibers (untreated) (E), A. tequilana leaf fibers (AFEX treated) (F), A. salmiana leaf fibers (untreated) (G) and A. salmiana leaf fibers (AFEX treated) (H).
