Identification and Characterization of Novel Cellulases from <em>Dissosteira carolina</em> (Orthoptera: Acrididae) and Molecular Cloning and Expression of an Endo-beta-1,4-Glucanase from <em>Tribolium castaneum</em> (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)
Cellulosic ethanol holds great potential as biofuel due to its sustainability and renewability, yet recalcitrance of cellulosic feedstocks prevents cost-efficient ethanol production. Enzymatic catalysis of lignocellulosic biomass has the greatest biotechnological potential for cost reductions to the...
