    Abstract:
    Understanding and recognizing the structural characteristics of lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCCs) and lignin in different growth stages and tissue types of bamboo will facilitate industrial processes and practical applications of bamboo biomass. Herein, the LCC and lignin samples were sequentially isolated from fibers and parenchyma cells of bamboo with different growth ages. The diverse yields of sequential fractions not only reflect the different biomass recalcitrance between bamboo fibers and parenchyma cells but also uncover the structural heterogeneity of these tissues at different growth stages. The molecular structures and structural inhomogeneities of the isolated lignin and LCC samples were comprehensively investigated. The results showed that the structural features of lignin and LCC linkages in parenchyma cells were abundant in β-O-4 linkages but less with carbon-carbon linkages, suggesting that lignin and cross-linked LCC in parenchyma cells are simple in nature and easily to be tamed and tractable in the current biorefinery. Parallelly, the different ball-milled samples were directly characterized by high-resolution (800 M) solution-state 2D-HSQC NMR to analyze the whole lignocellulosic material. Overall, the scheme presented in this study will provide a comprehensive understanding of lignin and LCC linkages in fibers and parenchyma cells of bamboo and enable the utilization of bamboo biomass.
