Abstract
Provided herein are methods of increasing the efficiency of biomass saccharification. In particular, the methods include ways of avoiding feedback inhibition of enzymatic reactions during the production of useful products. The methods also include saccharifying recalcitrance-reduced lignocellulosic biomass and adding an isomerization agent to the saccharified biomass. The saccharified biomass can be further converted into products by a microorganism.
