Bacterial cellulose degradation

An interesting approach to explain the observed substrate inhibition in cellulose degradation was presented by Valjamae et al. (2001). Finding that the maximum adsorption capacity of CBH I from T. reesei on bacterial cellulose (6.8pmolg ) was higher than the total amount of reducing ends (4.8 ...
