The cellulase enzyme system consists of cellobiohydrolase, endoglucanase, and beta-glucosidase and has been extensively studied with respect to its biosynthesis, properties, mode of action, application, and, most recently, secretion mechanisms. A knowledge of the factors governing the biosynthesis and secretion of these enzymes at the molecular level will be useful in maximizing enzyme productivity in extracellular fluid.
