• PEA PEEL WASTE: A LIGNOCELLULOSIC WASTE AND ITS UTILITY IN CELLULASE PRODUCTION BY Trichoderma reesei UNDER SOLID STATE CULTIVATION (2011, background): “Most microbial cellulases are inducible enzymes, and like other extracellular enzymes, they are secreted when the microorganisms are grown on cellulose or cellulosic components present in the raw materials (Jecu 2000).”
• Physical and Chemical Modifications of Plant Fibres for Reinforcement in Cementitious Composites (2019, background): “From Figure 2, the crystalline cellulose micro brils in secondary walls (S2) determine the bre mechanical properties and provide good mechanical properties when used alone rather than combined with individual bres for composite applications [16].”
