Figure 6From: Cellulose degradation: a therapeutic strategy in the improved treatment of Acanthamoeba infections Cellulose degradation by Cellulomonas fimi . Cellulose is attacked by endoglucanases releasing cellodextrins which is further broken down by exoglucanases into cellobiose. The hydrolysis of cellobiose is then mediated by β – glucosidases releasing glucose.Back to article page
