The economic exploration of renewable energy resources has hot fundamentals among the countries besides dwindling energy resources and increasing public pressure. Cellulose accumulation is a major bio-natural resource from agricultural waste. Cellulases are the most potential enzymes that systematically degrade cellulosic biomass into monomers which could be further processed into several efficient value-added products via chemical and biological reactions including useful biomaterial for human benefits. This could lower the environmental risks problems followed by an energy crisis. Cellulases are mainly synthesized by special fungal genotypes. The strain Trichoderma orientalis could highly express cellulases and was regarded as an ideal strain for further research, as the genetic tools have found compatibility for cellulose breakdown by producing effective cellulose-degrading enzymes. This strain has found a cellulase production of about 35 g/L that needs further studies for advancement. The enzyme activity of strain Trichoderma orientalis needed to be further improved from a molecular level which is one of the important methods. Considering synthetic biological approaches to unveil the genetic tools will boost the knowledge about commercial cellulases bioproduction. Several genetic transformation methods were significantly cited in this study. The transformation approaches that are currently researchers are exploring is transcription regulatory factors that are deeply explained in this study, that are considered essential regulators of gene expression.
