Microbial Cellulase in the Production of Second Generation Biofuels: State-of-the-Art and Beyond
Abstract
Bioethanol from inedible cellulose-rich biomass is the most promising candidate to replace fast depleting,
environmentally polluting fossil fuels. Hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose is the crucial step in its
biotransformation to bioethanol. Enzymatic hydrolysis is favored over acid hydrolysis, as enzymes are
eco-friendly biocatalysts with high substrate specificity and superior catalytic efficiency in mild reaction
conditions. Complete hydrolysis of cellulose is achieved by cellulase. Higher cellulase production
yield, stability, and catalytic efficiency are the main attentive points for the successful implementation
in industrial production of bioethanol. This chapter will highlight general characteristics of microbial
cellulases and their role in the bioconversion of cellulose to biofuels, economic sustainability of cellulosebased
biofuels, and the latest innovations in cellulase immobilization as the most comprehensive strategy
for improvement of enzyme stability, activity..., and reusability for cost-effective large-scale application.
