Principle[v]
1. From the bacteria, cellulolytic
and glycolytic clostridia, the enzyme called cellulase is produced. Between the
monomer cellulose, 1,4 beta acetal linkage is exist.
2. The endocellulase (one kind of cellulase) breaks
down the non-covanlent interaction between the crystalline structures of
cellulose.
3. Exocellulase hydrolysis the small cellulose unit to tetrasaccharides and disaccharides which those two will be hydrolysised into glubose by beta-glucosidase.[vi]
