Properties
Description
Cellulase from Aspergillus niger catalyzes the biochemical depolymerization of cellulose into glucose.
Unit Definition
One unit of cellulase activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to release one µmole of glucose-reducing-sugar equivalents per minute from CM-cellulose 4M (10 mg/mL) in sodium acetate buffer (100 mM), pH 4.5 at 40°C.
Applications
Cellulase from Aspergillus niger can be used in textiles, food, feed, carbohydrate, and biofuel industries.
