A daunting challenge to the efficient enzymatic digestion of cellulose in biomass is the structural complexity of the substrate. Cellulose is present in tight bundles surrounded by a mesh of other carbohydrate chains and is therefore inaccessible to cellulases. Moser and co-workers investigated the
## Abstract Industrial production of solvents such as EtOH and BuOH from cellulosic biomass has the potential to provide a sustainable energy source that is relatively cheap, abundant, and environmentally sound, but currently production costs are driven up by expensive enzymes, which are necessary
