Microorganisms for Cellulase Production: Availability, Diversity, and Efficiency

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Approaches to Enhance Industrial Production of Fungal Cellulases

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

Abstract

The great abundance and availability of lignocellulosic material as alternative substrates for industrial processes opens up a vast field of potential for the production of value-added compounds. For example, the discovery of the relationship between degradation of lignocellulosic biomass and the production of new-generation biofuels has made the search for more cost-effective and sustainable processes. In this sense, cellulases appear as promising process alternatives, considering that they are able of cleaving linkages that form the polysaccharide chain of cellulose, releasing compounds such as glucose, cellobiose, and oligosaccharides, among others. In this approach, the main goal of this chapter is to offer an in-depth outline on the identification of new strains capable of producing cellulases and overview the fermentative parameters, process optimization, and genetic engineering for process development, highlighting how microorganisms can be efficient tools for the production of cellulases with realistic potential of industrial applicability.
