cellulase [′sel·yə‚lās]
(biochemistry) Any of a group of extracellular enzymes, produced by various fungi, bacteria, insects, and other lower animals, that hydrolyze cellulose. Cellulase an enzyme of the hydrolase class. Cellulase depolymerizes cellulose polysaccharides (including cellulose itself) and forms glucose or the disaccharide cellobiose. Cellulase is found in germinated grain and in many bacteria and fungi; it is especially active in house fungi that grow on wood. Cellulase is also found in certain animals that feed on wood; these animals include shipworms and Cossidae. Ruminants are able to digest cellulose because symbiotic microorganisms that release cellulase live in the compartments of their stomachs, especially in the rumen.

No references found | Earlier, less than 10 such fungal cellobiohydrolase II enzymes were known. Alliance For Sustainable Energy, LLC (Golden, CO) has patented purified cellobiohydrolase I (glycosyl hydrolase family 7 (Cel7A) enzymes from Penicillium funiculosum which demonstrate a high level of specific performance in comparison to other Cel7 family member enzymes when formulated with purified EIcd endoglucanase from A. Baez will present data showing the results of an internal study of two new highly active cellobiohydrolases isolated from Dyadic's patented Chrysosporium lucknowense fungal strain (known as C1), as well as a mixture of pure monocomponent enzymes, all of which demonstrated an extremely high ability to convert different cellulosic substrates to glucose, the critical raw material for the production of ethanol. |
