Abstract

Due to its high cellulose content and abundance in agriculture and forestry leftovers, cellulosic biomass is a viable feedstock. Cellulose, the most prevalent biopolymer on Earth, is a complex carbohydrate polymer that serves as the structural backbone of plant cell walls. However, there is still a considerable difficulty in the effective conversion of cellulose into biofuels and other products with added value. Cellulase enzymes, which are produced by a variety of microorganisms and some plants, are essential for the breakdown of cellulose. Through an intricate enzymatic mechanism, these enzymes have the singular capacity to hydrolyse cellulose into fermentable carbohydrates like glucose. By creating a sustainable and eco-friendly method for the manufacture of biofuel, the discovery and use of cellulases have revolutionized the conversion of biomass. Microbial cellulases are an essential tool for converting cellulosic biomass into useful products, providing environmentally friendly options for chemicals, materials, and energy. Cellulase production, optimisation, and application are areas that require ongoing research and technical development if we are to realise the full potential of these enzymes and accelerate the transition to a more resource-conscious and sustainable future.
