Best Answer

Most cellulase is extracted from fungal plant parasites. You can buy small amounts of the enzyme in powdered form through Karlan, Inc. There is a company in Japan named Yakult Pharmaceuticals that sells bulk cellulase (and other plant-chewing enzymes) for laboratory use. Even with overseas shipping, they are much cheaper.

Cellulase and other enzymes are used in the lab to make plant protoplasts by chewing away the cell wall.

Cellulase can be obtained from various sources such as fungi, bacteria, and certain plants. It can be produced through fermentation processes in industrial settings using microorganisms that naturally produce cellulase enzymes. Commercially available cellulase products are also available for purchase for various applications, such as in the textile or biofuel industries.
