New hydrolysis model promising tool in cellulosic biofuel studies

Scientists are working hard to develop the tools and find the organisms to break down the complex structure of plant cellulose into its component sugars - the key step toward fermentation of those sugars into usable biofuel. This process needs to be simple and economically efficient before cellulosic biofuels can compete with fossil fuels for transportation energy use.
