[In Vitro]

Cellulase exhibits significant antibiofilm activity against B. cepacia, but does not have much action on its growth[1]. Cellulase and protease leads to the CST increasing in the case of activated sludge, but the effect of cellulase is lower than that of protease at the same concertration. Cellulase decreases the particle size of activated sludge. Cellulase has no significantly effect on sludge dewatering in terms of solid concentration after centrifugation[2].
