Background: Biodegradation of lignocellulosic materials to monomeric sugars by the action
of cellulolytic enzymes has recorded a significant value for industrial processes. These …

Fossil fuels and, in particular, oil and its derivatives, are the source of the vast proportion of
fuels and chemicals used throughout the world. Fossil fuels have, however, two …

A polyether-substituted cellulase (Cell-Mal) has been synthesized by the site-specific
modification of free cysteine residues (–SH) in commercial natural cellulase. Cell-Mal allows …

A novel cellulase gene encoding a thermostable endoglucanase from the thermophilic
eubacterium Fervidobacterium nodosum Rt17-B1 was cloned and expressed, which is the …

Cellulases are enzymes that are attracting worldwide attention because of their ability to
degrade cellulose in the lignocellulosic biomass and transform it into highly demanded …

Cellulose, a carbohydrate mainly found in plant cell walls, is most abundant biopolymer on
the Earth. Biodegradation of cellulose is carried out by a group of enzymes knows as …

Numerous agricultural residues generated due to diverse agricultural practices and food
processing such as rice straw, yam peels, cassava peels, banana peels among others …

Biodegradation of plant cellulose is achieved through a concerted action of a group of
enzymes of the cellulase system, synthesized by a diverse range of organisms. This …

Cellulose is one of the most abundant natural resources on earth for production of biobased
products and biofuels. It is also considered to be one of the cheapest renewable resources …
