| Abstract | The origin of the recalcitrance of cellulose fibrils to enzymatic hydrolysis is still poorly understood. In this study we examined the role of cellulose fibril lengths and fibril architecture, i.e. the fibrillar structure from lateral association of cellulose microfibrils, on the accessibility to a reducing-end specific cellobiohydrolase, Trichoderma reesei Cel7A (TrCel7A). Cellulose Iα fibrils from Gluconacetobacter xylinus and Cladophora aegagropila showed contrasting digestibility by TrCel7A. Where the bacterial cellulose (BC) fibrils from G. xylinus were rapidly hydrolyzed to near completion by TrCel7A (>99 %) in 120 h, under identical reaction conditions, TrCel7A hydrolysis of the algal cellulose (AC) fibrils from C. aegagropila was slow and limited (~30 %). Mechanically decreasing fibril lengths and increasing average reducing end concentrations by high intensity ultrasonication did not affect the hydrolysis rates of either BC or AC by TrCel7A. Moreover, ultrasonicated AC remained significantly less digestible by TrCel7A than BC despite higher available reducing-end concentrations. In contrast to previous observations of extensive fibrillation of BC by TrCel7A hydrolysis, AC fibrils subjected to hydrolysis by TrCel7A remained associated. The hydrolysis of AC fibrils by TrCel7A roughened the topography of the fibril surfaces in a manner suggesting erosion of microfibrils at the fibril surface. We speculate that the compact cross-sections of the AC microfibrils result in tightly associated fibrils that hinder enzyme access to available reducing ends while the flat, ribbon cross section of the BC microfibrils result in more loosely associated fibrils that more easily dissociate during hydrolysis to improve accessibility and overall digestibility by TrCel7A. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
