Figure 8From: Cellulose degradation: a therapeutic strategy in the improved treatment of Acanthamoeba infections Cellulose degradation by Clostridium thermocellum . Cellulose is attacked by various endoglucanases present in cellulosome releasing cellotetraose and/or cellodextrins. These cellooligosaccharides are then attacked by exoglucanases within cellulosome releasing cellobiose which is eventually converted to glucose by β – glucosidase.Back to article page
