👉 In biology, cellulolytic enzymes are a type of enzyme that breaks down cellulose. Cellulose is a complex polymer composed of glucose molecules linked together by bonds between glucose and sugar units. The breakdown of cellulose allows for the extraction of sugars from plant material, which can then be used in various industries such as paper production and agriculture. In the context of cellulosic products, cellulolytic enzymes are essential for the manufacturing of biofuels, including ethanol and biodiesel. These
