  2. Cellulase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulase

    Ribbon representation of the Streptomyces lividans β-1,4-endoglucanase catalytic domain - an example from the family 12 glycoside hydrolases [1]. Cellulase (EC 3.2.1.4; systematic name 4-β-D-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase) is any of several enzymes produced chiefly by fungi, bacteria, and protozoans that catalyze cellulolysis, the decomposition of cellulose and of some related polysaccharides:

  3. Cellulose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose

    A cellulase may function to cleave the primer from the mature chain. [34] Cellulose is also synthesised by tunicate animals, particularly in the tests of ascidians (where the cellulose was historically termed "tunicine" (tunicin)). [35]

  4. Bacterial cellulose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_cellulose

    A recent application of microbial cellulose has been as synthetic blood vessels and stents. The cellulose can also be modeled into mesh membranes that can be used for internal replacement structures, such as the brain's outer membrane, the dura mater. In addition to replacement, these structures have also been used as grafts to interact with ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose_fiber

    The cellulose fibers infiltration/filter aid applications can provide a protective layer to filter elements as powdered cellulose, besides promoting improved throughput and clarity. [citation needed] As ashless and non-abrasive filtration, make cleanup effortless after the filtering process without damage in pumps or valves. They effectively ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxymethyl_cellulose

    Moreover, CMC has been used extensively to characterize enzyme activity from endoglucanases (part of the cellulase complex); it is a highly specific substrate for endo-acting cellulases, as its structure has been engineered to decrystallize cellulose and create amorphous sites that are ideal for endoglucanase action.

  8. Thermotoga petrophila - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermotoga_petrophila

    For the biofuel industry, cellulase enzyme genes from T. petrophila have been cloned and put into E. coli for an enhanced saccharification reaction from softwood dust. With nitric acid treatment and the transformed enzymes, the results revealed that lignin degradation was more efficiently optimized and that the recombinant cellulases actively ...
