Cellulase (EC 3.2.1.4; systematic name 4-β-D-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase) is any of several enzymes produced chiefly by fungi, bacteria, and protozoans that catalyze cellulolysis, the decomposition of cellulose and of some related polysaccharides: Endohydrolysis of (1→4)-β-D-glucosidic linkages in cellulose, lichenin and cereal β-D-glucan

Cellulose is essentially an important and main structural component of the cell wall of green plants making it most abundant polymer on earth. Cellulose is composed of long chain of glucose units linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds, cellulases hydrolyze these β-1,4 linkages in cellulose.

Cellulase hydrolyzes the biomass into simple sugars, either pentose or hexoses, which are then fermented to fuel or bioethanol. Cellulases are mainly involved in the bioconversion of renewable lignocellulosic biomass.

1999年1月14日 · Cellulose is the renewable and ample biopolymer generated on earth yearly. It is a crystalline matrix of linear β-1,4-d glucan chains composed of long unbranched glucose polymers. In nature these organic matters is converted to simple compounds by …

Cellulase is the enzyme complex used to degrade cellulose since it hydrolyzes cellulose to oligosaccharides and finally glucose.

2019年4月2日 · Cellulase catalyzes the decomposition of cellulose polysaccharide by simply breaking down β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Three major types of enzymes are generally involved in hydrolyzing cellulose microfibrils in the plant cell wall: endoglucanase, exoglucanase, and …

Microbial cellulases have become the focal biocatalysts due to their complex nature and wide spread industrial applications. Cellulases are composed of independently folding, structurally and functionally discrete units called domains or modules, making cellulases module [1].

Cellulase is an enzyme produced by fungi, bacteria and/or protozoans that help decompose cellulose and other related polysaccharides (e.g. hemicellulose, lichenin, and cereal beta-D-glucans) into monosaccharides or simple sugars (i.e. beta-glucose), shorter polysaccharides and/or oligosaccharide by hydrolyzing the 1,4-beta-D-glycosidic linkages.

2013年7月12日 · Cellulases are increasingly being used for a large variety of industrial purposes—in the textile industry, pulp and paper industry, and food industry, as well as an additive in detergents and improving digestibility of animal feeds.
