Description Cellulases are hydrolytic enzymes that catalyze total hydrolysis of cellulose into sugars.
Cellulases are produced by various groups of microorganisms and animals; however, psychrophiles
are the ideal candidates for the production of enzymes active at low temperature and
stable under alkaline conditions, in the presence of oxidants and detergents, which are in large
demand as laundry additives. The cellulases from psychrophiles also find application in
environmental bioremediation, food industry and molecular biology. Research work on
cellulase has been done over the last six decades, but there is no exclusive review available on
the cellulases from psychrophiles. This review is an attempt to fill this gap by providing all the
relevant information exclusively for cellulases from psychrophiles, with a focus on the present
status of knowledge on their activity, molecular characteristics, gene cloning, statistical experimental
designs, crystal structure, and strategies for the improvement of psychrophilic cellulases.
