Cellulase is an efficient biocatalyst, plays an important role in the use of cellulose. The rumen
cellulases are enzymes which are able to decompose the cellulose into glucose to offer ruminants for growing. In this
paper, the cellulose was summarized, the bacteria, fungi and other microbes of rumen cellulase sources and secreted
cellulases and various rumen microorganisms on degradation of cellulose were analyzed. Moreover, the degrading
mechanism of cellulase and the classification of cellulases were described, to provide references for the further
research on rumen cellulase. |
