Role and significance of beta-glucosidases in the hydrolysis of cellulose for bioethanol production.

TL;DR: This article presents beta-glucosidase as the key component for bioethanol from biomass through enzymatic route along with its production strategies and general properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation of Cellulose-Degrading Bacteria and Determination of Their Cellulolytic Potential

TL;DR: Eight isolates of cellulose-degrading bacteria (CDB) were isolated from four different invertebrates by enriching the basal culture medium with filter paper as substrate for cellulose degradation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Properties of Fungal and Bacterial Cellulases with Comment on their Production and Application

TL;DR: Structure de la cellulose, sources et production d'enzymes cellulolytiques: regulation, secretion, mutation, mutation et clonage, multiplicite des enzymes.

In vitro degradation of chitosan by a commercial enzyme preparation: effect of molecular weight and degree of deacetylation

TL;DR: Hydlysis of five chitosan samples confirms the existence of a chitinase in the almond emulsin beta-glucosidase preparation, and faster degradation rates are expected with lower molecular weight and low degree of deacetylation chitOSans.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cellulase of Trichoderma viride. Purification, characterization and comparison of all detectable endoglucanases, exoglucanases and beta-glucosidases.

TL;DR: It was concluded that these exoglucanases are primarily active on newly generated chain ends and are cellobiohydrolases as judged by high-pressure liquid chromatography of the products obtained from incubation with H3PO4-swollen cellulose.

Advances in chemistry series

TL;DR: A key to pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry literature and training of literature chemists are discussed in the Advances series as mentioned in this paper, with the focus on the training of chemistry chemists, which is a subject of great interest to the literature chemist.
Journal ArticleDOI

The biological degradation of soluble cellulose derivatives and its relationship to the mechanism of cellulose hydrolysis.

TL;DR: Questions to which the following data are partial answers are asked: How widespread is the ability of microorganisms to utilize soluble cellulose derivatives as carbon sources?
Journal ArticleDOI

Enzymatic hydrolysis of waste cellulose

TL;DR: In this article, a variety of pure and complex cellulosic materials were hydrolyzed by culture filtrates, and the rate and extent of hydrolysis was controlled by degree of crystallinity, particle size, and presence of impurities.
Journal ArticleDOI

beta-Glucosidase: microbial production and effect on enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose.

TL;DR: When Trichoderma cellulase preparations are supplemented with beta-glucosidase from Aspergillus during practical saccharifications, glucose is the predominant product and the rate of saccharification is significantly increased, which appears to be due to the removal of inhibitory levels of cellobiose.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodegradation of cellulosic materials: Substrates, microorganisms, enzymes and products

TL;DR: The potential of cellulosic biomass as a source of fuel and petroleum-sparing substances is also reviewed in this article, where three different enzymes of the multicomponent cellulase system are involved in the degradation of crystalline cellulose into glucose.
