PREFACE
This book assembles into a single balanced volume the vast and widely dispersed literature on the biosynthesis and biodegradation of cellulose, an abundant biopolymer of great natural and industrial importance. Included are comprehensive summaries of the biosynthesis of cellulose in both in vitro and in vivo systems, along with reviews of the phenomenon of cellulose degradation as practiced by a variety of microbial groups and their component enzymes. Unlike other books on the biology of cellulose, this volume aims to provide an equal treatment of biosynthesis and biodegradation, which, unfortunately, are usually regarded as separate phenomena with little in common. Thus, a major aim of the book is to broaden the horizons and knowledge of cellulose researchers who have until now lacked a systematic and balanced source of information on aspects of cellulose biology outside of their immediate research area. With respect to biosynthesis, all aspects of the fieldincluding cell biology, biophysics, biochemistry, and molecular biologyare covered to the proportional level of knowledge in each area. Within the biodegradation domain, a broad canvas of microbial degradation has been included, instead of the narrow focus on fungal cellulolytic enzymes that i normally encountered in technology-oriented books on biomass conversion or methods-oriented books on cellulose biochemistry. Because its material is presented in the form of synthetic reviews

and commentaries on the most current research approaches, the book should be appreciated by both established and beginning researchers in the field.
