“…a, and the second bydrolysing ft lo xylose; the second appears to be more easily inactivated than the first. This interpretation would be in good agreement with the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose as sbown by Pringsheim (17,18) and recently confirmed by Levinson, Mandels and Reese (U) by means of the paper chroniatography technique. The cellulose chain is hydrolyzed by cellulase under tbe forma tion of cellobiose, and this again is hydrolyzed to glucose by eellobiase (^-glucosidase).…”

“…Interestingly, the German literature at the time referred to cellulose‐degrading enzymes as “celluloselosendes enzyms”, or cellulose‐loosening enzymes (47). From our review of the literature, Pringsheim made the first reference to “cellulases” as enzymes that degrade cellulose in 1912 (48). By the 1920s, evidence was mounting that these enzymes were actually proteins and that proteins were discrete chemical entities.…”

For well over one hundred years, researchers around the world have pursued ways to make ethanol from biomass such as wood, grasses, and waste materials. To distinguish it from ethanol made from starch and sugars in traditional agricultural crops, we refer to ethanol made from biomass as "bioethanol." The effort to develop bioethanol technology gained significant momentum in the late 1970s as a result of the energy crises that occurred in that decade. This article briefly reviews the broader history of bioethanol technology development. With this as a background, we focus our attention on the strategic thinking behind the U.S. Department of Energy's Bioethanol Program, which envisions remarkable advances in cellulase enzyme research and as the basis for significant future process cost reductions.

“…Pringsheim suggested [14] that one enzyme breaks the long-chain cellulose molecules to short chains (cellobiose), and another enzyme then hydrolyzes cellobiose to glucose. Reese and coworkers [12,15 ] presented evidence that at least two enzymes, C1 1 and Cs, are involved in the breakdown of cellulose to cellobiose, with cellobiase hydrolyzing the latter compound to glucose.…”
