a AFM images of nanoparticles produced by LPMO oxidative cleavage at different times. The images have 3 × 3 μm dimensions and show the nanoparticles obtained from the α-Chitin cleavage with LFACA-LPMO and BtLPMO at times of 24, 48, 72, and 96 h. b Size distribution of EnCNCh particles produced with LFACA-LPMO (red line), BtLPMO (blue line) and HCl hydrolysis (yellow line) using α-Chitin as substrate. Size distribution was calculated with the length of 100 particles from each condition.
