Engineered Microbial Cellulases for Biomass Conversion: Integrating Omics, Expression Platforms, Fermentation Engineering and Enzyme Reusability.

This review focuses on cellulase production as a platform for biotechnology rather than as a standalone fermentation process and connects native cellulase-producing microorganisms, omics-guided enzyme discovery, lignocellulosic substrate selection, pretreatment and inhibitor tolerance, solid-state and submerged fermentation, enzyme engineering, downstream recovery, immobilization, reusability and industrial translation.
