Fungal cellulases: a comprehensive review on production, innovations, and applications.
Review in Archives of microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Fungal cellulases are pivotal industrial enzymes with diverse applications across agriculture, textiles, biofuels, and bioremediation. It belongs to Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (CAZy) families such as GH5, GH6, and GH7, which are primarily produced by filamentous fungi like Trichoderma, Aspergillus, and Penicillium. These enzymes exhibit high stability and efficiency, making them superior to plant and animal-derived counterparts. The review explores production strategies, including solid-state and submerged fermentation, highlighting their advantages and challenges. It also discusses the use of agricultural and industrial waste as cost-effective substrates, aligned with the principles of the circular economy. Advanced techniques, such as directed evolution, nanotechnology-based immobilization, and omics-based approaches, have enhanced cellulase production and efficiency. Structural insights into fungal cellulases, including their catalytic domains and carbohydrate-binding modules, provide a foundation for understanding their catalytic mechanisms. Comparative analyses with bacterial cellulases reveal unique structural adaptations that influence substrate specificity and processivity. The industrial significance of fungal cellulases is emphasized by their role in biofuel production, textile processing, and bioremediation. Innovations in enzyme immobilization and recombinant expression further expand their applicability. This review aims to serve as a resource for researchers and industries seeking to harness the potential of fungal cellulases in sustainable bioprocessing and biotechnology.
