• The microbial cellulase system is responsible for the generation of glucose from cellulose. Cellulases are comprised of at least three major groups of enzymes, namely endoglucanases, exoglucanases, and β-glucosidases. On the other hand, xylanases function in the degradation of hemicellulose and work synergistically with cellulases for the degradation of lignocellulosic biomass. Here, we describe the most commonly used methods for the activity measurement of cellulases and xylanases.
