Celitase
Cellulase is an enzyme that helps break down cellulose, the primary component of plant cell walls. It converts cellulose into simpler sugars that can be used by organisms as an energy source. In nature, cellulase is produced by certain fungi, bacteria, and some insects to digest plant material. In industrial applications, cellulase is used in biofuel production, textile processing, and food manufacturing to aid in the breakdown of plant fibers. Essentially, it acts as a biological tool to decompose tough plant cellulose into manageable, consumable sugars.
