Cellulase is an enzyme that breaks down cellulose. Fungi, bacteria and protozoans use it to create food. Sheep, cattle, goats, horses and termites have some of this enzyme to help them digest their food.

Cellulase enzyme, present in microorganisms, is the enzyme that metabolizes cellulose. Cellulose is formed similar to starch but with the difference that starch is a polysaccharide formed by a series of alpha-amylose units (which are formed by disaccharides of glucose linked by alpha(1-6) glycosidic bonds).


Instead, cellulose is formed by a series of glucoses linked by beta(1-4) glycosidic bonds. Cellulases break such glycosidic bond to release glucoses, although this is a slow process. No vertebrates that possess enzymes to digest beta(1-4) bonds, therefore they need symbiotic microorganisms in their digestive tracts to digest cellulose.

The cellulase reaction is not the same as general enzyme reaction. The main difference is that cellulase is a multi-component enzyme system and the structure of the substrate is extremely complicated. Due to the water insolubility of the substrate, the adsorption of cellulase replaces the process of ES complex formation by the enzyme and the substrate. The cellulase is specifically adsorbed on the cellulose first, and then the cellulose is decomposed into glucose under the synergistic action of several components. In 1950, scientists proposed the C1-Cx hypothesis, which states that it is necessary to act synergistically with different enzymes in order to completely hydrolyze cellulose to glucose. Synergy is generally thought to be that the C1 enzyme first attacks the amorphous region of cellulose, forming the new free ends needed for Cx. Then, the Cx enzyme cuts cellobiose units from the reducing or non-reducing ends of the polysaccharide chains. Finally, the cellobiose is hydrolyzed into two glucose by β-glucanase. However, the order of synergy of cellulases is not absolute. In subsequent studies, it was found that C1-Cx and β-glucosidase must be present together to hydrolyze native cellulose.

Celluase is an enzyme that is produced primarily by fungi and bacteria, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of cellulose. It does this by converting cellulose to cellobiose.

What is likely to prevent digestion of starch by carbohydrase enzymes in the stomach?

the hydrochloric acid is likely to prevent the digestion of starch by carbohydrase enzymes in the stomache because the carbohydrase enzymes optimum PH is PH7. The Hydrochloric acid in the stomache makes the PH in the stomache PH3 therefore the stomache has too weak a PH for the enzymes to be able to work.
