Previous dogma has maintained that cellulose, ingested by xylophagous or herbivorous animals, is digested by cellulolytic symbiotes. The first evidence in conflict with this contention involved the demonstration of cellulolytic activities in symbiote-free secreting organs (e.g., the salivary glands of termites) or defaunated guts.

Glycosylation of cellulase: a novel strategy for improving cellulase
Critical Reviews in Biotechnology, 2023Protein glycosylation is the most complex posttranslational modification process. Most cellulases from filamentous fungi contain N-glycosylation and O-glycosylation. Here, we discuss the potential roles of glycosylation on the characteristics and function of cellulases.

Cellulose is a heterogeneous polysaccharide, and its enzymatic hydrolysis requires endoglucanase, exoglucanase (cellobiohydrolase), and beta-glucosidase to work together. We summarize the most commonly used assays for individual enzymes and cellulase mixture.

Visualizing cellulase activity
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 2013AbstractCommercial exploitation of lignocellulose for biotechnological production of fuels and commodity chemicals requires efficient—usually enzymatic—saccharification of the highly recalcitrant insoluble substrate. A key characteristic of cellulose conversion is that the actual hydrolysis of the polysaccharide chains is intrinsically entangled with ...

Cellulases for biomass degradation: comparing recombinant cellulase expression platforms
Trends in Biotechnology, 2013Improvement of cellulase expression has the potential to change the nature of the biofuel industry. Increasing the economic feasibility of cellulase systems would significantly broaden the range of practicable biomass conversion, lowering the environmental impact of our civilisations' fuel needs.

Bioethanol is currently produced by the fermentation of sugary and starchy crops, but waste plant biomass is a more abundant source because sugars can be derived directly from cellulose. One of the limiting steps in the biomass-to-ethanol process is the degradation of cellulose to fermentable sugars (saccharification).

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2009
There is a major international effort to develop renewable alternatives to fossil fuels. One approach is to produce a liquid fuel by enzymatically hydrolyzing carbohydrate polymers in biomass to sugars and fermenting them to ethanol. Cellulose is the main polymer in biomass and cellulases can hydrolyze it to cellobiose, which can be converted to ...

One of nature’s most important biological processes is the degradation of lignocellulosic materials into carbon dioxide, water and humic substances. The strong wood-degrading capability of fungi depends, in part, upon the organization of their hyphae, which gives the organisms a penetrating capacity.
