Abstract: Lignocelluloses are the most abundant and cheapest sources of carbohydrate, continually replenished by photosynthetic reduction of carbon dioxide with solar energy. It is composed by cellulose and hemicellulose. To date, how to make use of this resource is a hot topic in research. Cellulose enzymes can effectively hydrolyze cellulose to glucose in maize straw, which can produce ethanol for the energy after fermentation. It is important to produce the effective and costless cellulase for the energy and the environment due to the cellulose abundance and immense potential. In this paper, component of cellulose and the principle of hydrolysis and the strain for industry are illuminated.
