Lignocellulosic biomass is a renewable and abundant resource with great potential for bioconversion to value-added bioproducts like enzymes. Cellulase is the potential industrial enzyme because of its utility in many tremendous industries and bioconversion of lignocellulosics into soluble sugars. Saccharum spontaneum has low lignin content as compared to cellulose and hemicellulose so it is a potential source for cellulase production. Pretreatment methods removes lignin from lignocellulose structure and also these methods can hydrolyze part of the hemicellulose and increases the enzyme...

With the recent development of biotechnology, there has been vast interest to use cellulose-digestive microorganisms to convert lignocellulosic biomass to glucose that can be used in different applications such as production of fuel ethanol, use in animal feed, use in waste water treatment and in brewing industry. In the last few decades, the exponential increase in the application of cellulases in various fields demands extension in both qualitative improvement and quantitative enhancement. Quantitative enhancement requires strain improvement and medium optimization for the overproduction of...
