It should be mentioned that mushrooms are cellulase producers and that they are mainly the only organisms with this ability.
Is it possible for someone to expand this page? Some info on ideal temparature and PH would be great. —Preceding

I removed a non-sequitor "Cellulase also does not dissolve certain chemicals found in certain fruits, such as bananas, grapefruits, or apples." from the list of 5 types of cellulases, it's a sixth entry, it's not a type a cellulase, and doesn't really andd much scholarly info. May even have been subtle vandalisim. 64.252.40.85 ( talk) 19:48, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
What types of processes are used to make these, how are they stored, and transported?

Given that cellulose is so ubiquitous in nature, one would assume that evolving cellulase should be a common occurrence. Is it know why that is not the case? If so, the info should be added to the article. -- 77.7.186.186 ( talk) 11:44, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
I deleted synthesis of cellulase in plants: according to the cited reference, Phylogenetic Analysis of the Plant Endo-ß-1,4-Glucanase Gene Family. Journal of Molecular Evolution. 2004 May;58(5):506-15.</ref> it's the gene for glucanase that has a role in the synthesis of cellulose. Please vet my edit. -- Wetman ( talk) 01:38, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
This entry needs some work to have an updated view of how cellulase action works and what terminology is appropriate. I made a few minor edits to try and clarify. Will be back when I have time. ( 570ajk ( talk) 21:52, 10 March 2012 (UTC))
The previous version of this article provided a long list of names in parenthesis in the lead sentence, and another partially overlapping list at the end of the head section, without telling whether they were synonyms of "cellulase", subtypes of cellulase, or specific enzymes. I could not clarify the matter so I merely merged the two lists at the end of the head section. Currently many of those names point back to this article, but some of them at least seem to be more specific terms; if so, they deserve articles of their own, even if stubs. -- Jorge Stolfi ( talk) 21:37, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
"Traditional reducing sugar assays using this substrate can not be employed for the measurement of cellulase activity" - this isn't something I'm too knowledgeable about, but I would appreciate some explanation of why this is. What stops you from assaying the product solution for simple sugar content? Or is too little glucose produced immediately for that kind of assay? 10:29, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
