摘要: Cellulose, the most abundant organic molecule on Earth is found mainly as a structural component of plant and algal cell walls, is also produced by some animals, such as tuni‐-cates, and several bacteria [1]. Natural cellulose is a crystalline and linear polymer of thou‐-sands of D-glucose residues linked by β-1, 4-glycosidic bonds, considered the most abundant and renewable biomass resource and a formidable reserve of raw material. It does not accumulate in the environment due to the existence of cellulolytic fungi and bac …
