Genetic modification: a tool for enhancing cellulase secretion

Lignocellulosic (LC) biomass is abundantly available as a low-cost resource on the Earth.LC conversion into energy carriers is the most accepted alternative energy production policy because it is non-competitor to food or feed.LC ethanol has brought cellulases to the forefront which was otherwise lost in oblivion during last decades.LC biomass Butt
