Introduction
Cellulose is a linear polysaccharide of glucose residues with β-1, 4-glycosidic linkages Abundant availability of cellulose makes it an attractive raw material for producing many industrially important commodity products. Sadly, much of the cellulosic waste is often disposed of by biomass burning, which is not restricted to developing countries alone, but is considered a global phenomenon. With the help of cellulolytic system, cellulose can be converted to glucose which is a multiutility product, in a much cheaper and biologically favourable process.
