Good quality Cellulase CAS 9012-54-8 with factory price

Details:

Cellulase is a group of enzymes that hydrolyze cellulose, a polysaccharide composed of glucose units linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds, into simpler sugars like glucose. Key points:

1. Function: Breaks down cellulose into cellobiose (a dimer) and ultimately glucose through synergistic action of three main enzymes:

   • Endocellulase: Randomly cleaves internal bonds in cellulose chains.

   • Exocellulase (cellobiohydrolase): Processes chain ends to release cellobiose.

   • β-glucosidase: Converts cellobiose into glucose.

2. Sources: Produced by microorganisms (e.g., fungi like Trichoderma, bacteria like Clostridium), certain insects, and symbiotic gut microbes in herbivores (e.g., ruminants, termites).

3. Applications:

   • Biofuel Production: Converts plant biomass into fermentable sugars for ethanol.

   • Textile Industry: Bio-polishing fabrics and stone-washing denim.

   • Food Processing: Juice extraction, clarifying beverages, and improving digestibility in animal feed.

   • Waste Management: Recycling paper and agricultural residues.

4. Structure: Often includes a catalytic domain for hydrolysis and a cellulose-binding domain for substrate attachment.

5. Challenges: Efficiency is limited by cellulose’s crystalline structure; research focuses on engineered enzymes for industrial scalability.

6. Ecological Role: Facilitates decomposition in the carbon cycle, enabling nutrient recycling in ecosystems.

Cellulase is vital in sustainable industries and natural biomass degradation.
