Cellulose, the most abundant polymer in the earth crust, is a major attraction in the field of bio-innovation and cellulases are the major agent for mobilizing it as per human necessity. Cellulases have wide range of application in various industries such as textiles, bio-fuel, bioconversion, animal feed, detergent, biocontrol, brewing, food etc. Thus, cellulases research has been able to gather large amount of research and development investment.
