An Insight into Fungal Cellulases and Their Industrial Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Fungal Biology ((FUNGBIO))

Abstract

Cellulases are glycoside hydrolases that catalyze the hydrolysis of crystalline and amorphous cellulose to its oligomers and monomers. Cellulases from microbial sources have received a lot of attention because of their industrial applications, and these enzymes are mainly used in the energy sector. This review provides a summary of fungal cellulases, including the microorganisms used to produce cellulases, the efficient use of industrial residues as substrates for the production of cellulases, and their applications in various industrial sectors. Fungal cellulases can play a vital role in the biofuels sector when its potential is exploited.
