The scientists tested a new way to make more sugar from corn leftovers for turning into biofuel. They mixed treated corn waste with corn stover liquid and found it boosted sugar levels without needing extra steps like cleaning the materials. This process produced more xylose (a type of sugar) while keeping the glucose levels the same as before. By using a substance called Tween 80, they could make the enzymes work better, leading to even more sugar being produced. This method could make the biofuel-making process simpler and better for the environment by reducing the need for extra treatments and cleaning steps.
