How do you obtain cellulase?

Most cellulase is extracted from fungal plant parasites. You can buy small amounts of the enzyme in powdered form through Karlan, Inc. There is a company in Japan named Yakult Pharmaceuticals that sells bulk cellulase (and other plant-chewing enzymes) for laboratory use. Even with overseas shipping, they are much cheaper. Cellulase and other enzymes are used in the lab to make plant protoplasts by chewing away the cell wall.

How do you turn newspapers into sugar?

Because newspaper is made up of cellulose, from plant cells, you can break it down into sugars by applying the enzyme cellulase, which breaks down cellulose. You are then making sugar, since cellulose is made of repeating units of glucose, a common sugar (sucrose, a familiar sugar called table sugar, is two glucose units bonded together). If you don't have any cellulase handy, you can try composting the newspaper - the bacteria and fungi in the compost pile naturally produce the cellulase enzyme and when they are helping the newspaper to decompose, what they are really doing is breaking down the cellulose into simple sugars.
