  1. aMaximum theoretical yield was calculated based on the fact that 0.51 g ethanol and 0.49 g of CO2 are yielded from 1 g of glucose. The % theoretical yield was calculated based on the sugar content of lignocellulosic material. When sugar content was not mentioned in the original reference, it is calculated based on average composition of lignocellulose which can theoretically produce 0.336 g ethanol g−1 of biomass (Szczodrak 1988)
