Figure 1: Lignocellulose located between macro-scaled and micro-scaled time-space regions. The left scheme represents the ecological pyramid: its time scale is year order and size scale is meter order. The right scheme represents omic space: its time scale is milli-second order and size scale is nano-meter order. Lignocellulose is accumulated and degraded in the ecosystem along the year order time scale and is formed as construction of the meter order size scale. It is, however, self-organized by providing composition materials under the genetic regulatory system, similar to other biomacromolecules. |
