ABSTRACT
Cellulases are considered the third largest industrial enzymes and share over 20% of the market value. Fungal cellulases are widely used in biomass hydrolysis for bioethanol production. Conventional screening combined with novel genetic engineering and gene editing technologies can revolutionize the cellulase production system resulting in higher rates of saccharification. This advancement, combined with developing efficient strains of fermenting microbes, can make cost-effective production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic biomass.
