Autolysis in vitro of fresh corn stover was discovered,and the
main product was glucose.The autolytic corn stover was 2.56% by
dry weight. It was discovered that the autolytic substrate was
mainly ?-(1-3, 1-4)- glucan and partial cellulose. To use the plenty
fresh corn stover CWP,a novel enzymatic and fermentative tech-
nique for mixtures of fresh and steam exploded corn stover was
developed [70]. Compared to the control,the yields of glucose and
ethanol were increased by 61.2% and 112.7%, respectively. In the
novel technique, fresh corn stover was used not only as hydrolytic
substrate and its CWP,but also as the additive for T.viride cellulase
