A minor component isolated from the extracellular cellulase of the anaerobic rumen fungus Neocallimastix frontalis by adsorption on cellulose had a remarkable capacity to degrade crystalline hydrogenbond-ordered cellulose. When produced in a semi-defined medium the component comprised normally less
