    In the published article, there was an error in [Figure 3] as published. [During the initial submission process, an incorrect image of Figure 3 (showing the hydrolysis results using a less advanced cellulase mixture) was accidentally used during the final stage. This cellulase mixture lacks accessory enzymes, resulting in lower hydrolysis yields at elevated pH. In contrast, the more advanced enzyme cocktail CTec3, used in this study, contains accessory enzymes that reduce non-productive lignin-enzyme binding at elevated pH, as described in the main content of the article.]. The corrected [Figure 3] and its caption [Enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose-rich delignified Kraft pulp with added PTLs isolated from unmodified, sulfonated and oxidized mechanical pulps (MP) at 2% solids and enzyme loading of 2 and 5mg/g cellulose. Enzymatic hydrolysis was performed for 48hrs in a 50°C rotating incubator.] appear below.
