Abstract

There are lots of assay methods used for cellulase activity that have not been unified. According to their experimental determination purpose, many research institutions adopt different methods, and do some changes according to their own experience, making determination to be more diversified. Summarizing the determination methods of cellulase activity and problems, it can provide references and assistance for the selection of methods based on different experiment purposes.

 

Key words: Cellulase, cellulase activity, cellulose, determination method, enzyme.
