Cellulases are synthesized in nature by a number fungi and bacteria, although fungal cellulases have received the most attention for research. Some fungal species, most notably Trichoderma, e.g. T. reesei, produce cellulases capable of degrading at least in part, crystalline regions of native cellulose. Cellulolytic enzymes produced by fungi can be classified as one of three types: Endocellulases- catalyse random cleavage of internal bonds of the cellulose chain. Cellobiohydrolase or exoglucanases- attack the chain ends releasing cellobiose(the smallest repetitive unit of cellulose) Β-glucosidases- Are only active on cello-oligosaccharides and cellobiose, and release glucose monomers from cellobiose. ( Cellulolytic bacteria mainly produce endocellulases).
Yes, most enzymes will end with the suffix "-ase".
no it has dead cels in them
The above answer is not right.
the bacteria is a cell itself it does not have dead cells inside. yes it has got so many different kinds of enzymes.
Bacteria does not have cellulose in its cell wall.
It has both intracellular as well as extracellular enzymes
Well, it depends on the bacteria doing the breaking down, but most of the bacterial types, yes.
No, but plants do and bacteria and plants are not the same.
Yes
Starch and cellulose differ in the glycosidic linkages between their glucose monomers.
Yes! (is there more you need for this question?) "Symbiotic anaerobic bacteria" Cellulomonas is one such example.
YES
The bacteria breaks down the leafs and twigs into soil by a chemical solvent that it leaves on the Leaf to break it down. The name I do not know.
We don't have the required enzyme to break fibre down to get energy from it.
Cows, horses, sheep, goats, and termites have bacteria living inside their intestinal tract. These bacteria can break down cellulose that is in grass and other plants.
In cows and other herbivores, their natural flora of bacteria break down cellulose and make it something they can digest, but in humans our bacteria have no effect on cellulose, so for us it is indigestible.
cecum
Yes, lactase can definitely break down cellulose. In fact, when the lactase works to break down the cellulose, it breaks the cellulose down into two different monomers.
Starch and cellulose differ in the glycosidic linkages between their glucose monomers.
Horses break down cellulose by use of enzyme cellulase.
Symbiotic.
Yes! (is there more you need for this question?) "Symbiotic anaerobic bacteria" Cellulomonas is one such example.
Cellulose is just a polysaccharide composed of glucose. If we had the digestive enzymes to break down cellulose into glucose, it would just mean tha we can get more energy from our diet without turning the cellulose into "roughage." Cows have a symbiotic relationship with certain kinds of bacteria that make the digestive enzymes. This is why cows and some other animals can break down cellulose and eat grass. If we had the enzymes to break down cellulose, we too would be able to eat grass!
Yes, Elephants are herbivores and their digestive systems can break down plant cellulose
Micro-organisms, such as bacteria, are able to digest cellulose. No mammals are able to digest cellulose. This is because cellulose contains a β(1,4) linkage that no mammalian enzyme can break. This is why herbivores must have symbiotic bacteria somewhere in their digestive system that help them break down cellulose.
they break down cellulose (plant starch) that humans cannot digest they break down lactose with lactic acid, that humans do not produce
