Article Synopsis
- Natural bacteria and fungi break down lignocellulosic polymers, using three essential enzymes: endoglucanases, exo-glucanases, and β-glucosidase, to decompose cellulose and recycle it in the environment.
- Despite its ecological importance, the enzymatic breakdown of cellulose faces challenges such as complex enzyme structures, inefficiency, high costs, and unknown properties, hindering effective use in industries.
- Research is focused on improving cellulase enzyme activity and designing better biocatalysts for practical applications in biofuels, textiles, paper, and agriculture, detailing current studies on enzyme sources, production, and characterization.
