Expression of Acidothermus cellulolyticus thermostable cellulases in tobacco and rice plants

The production of cellulases in plants is an economical method for the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into fuels. Herein we report the expressions of two thermostable Acidothermus cellulolyticus cellulases, endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase (E1) and exoglucanase (Gux1), in tobacco and rice. To evaluate...
