Abstract: For a long-range solution to the global issues of energy, chemical and food, the most abundant, renewable and sustainable bioresource cellulose could be a feasible solution The depolymerisation of cellulose by a group of enzyme cellulases could potentially lead to the development of various value-added products Due to their immense potential, cellulases are involved in various industrial and biotechnological applications related to pulp and paper, textile, fuel and other organic chemical synthesis industries However, to further economise the cellulase production, extensive research is being carried out using various approaches including genetic manipulation and process engineering In this chapter, a brief overview of cellulases and their potential applications are being discussed

Metagenomic and functional analysis of hindgut microbiota of a wood-feeding higher termite
TL;DR: A metagenomic analysis of the bacterial community resident in the hindgut paunch of a wood-feeding ‘higher’ Nasutitermes species shows the presence of a large, diverse set of bacterial genes for cellulose and xylan hydrolysis, the first system-wide gene analysis of a microbial community specialized towards plant lignocellulose degradation.

Production of cellulase by Trichoderma reesei from dairy manure
Zhiyou Wen,Wei Liao,Shulin Chen +2 more
TL;DR: Elimination of CaCl2, MgSO4, nitrogen sources (NH4+ and urea) and trace elements (Fe2+, Zn2+, Co2+ and Mn2+) from the original salt solution had no negative influence on the cellulaseProduction, while phosphate elimination did reduce cellulase production.

Direct isolation of functional genes encoding cellulases from the microbial consortia in a thermophilic, anaerobic digester maintained on lignocellulose
Frank Healy,R. M. Ray,Henry C. Aldrich,Ann C. Wilkie,Lonnie O. Ingram,Keelnatham T. Shanmugam +5 more
TL;DR: Gene libraries constructed in Escherichia coli using DNA isolated from the mixed liquor of thermophilic, anaerobic digesters, which were in continuous operation with lignocellulosic feedstocks for over 10 years, offered the potential to discover many new enzymes for biotechnological applications.
