Definição empregada nesta disciplina:
The term refers to the restrictions imposed by the lignified
cell walls to the polysaccharide hydrolysis
(by enzymes or even by acids in water solution)
Recalcitrância: termo usualmente empregado para mencionar a
dificuldade que existe para se desconstruir a parede celular vegetal
Lignin and hemicelluloses are the major components limiting
enzyme infiltration into the cell walls
