Look it up: it's an enzyme that breaks cellulose down, I think into monomer or dimer units.

Reminds me of one of the funniest passages in "The Life and Extraordinary Adventures of Private Ivan Chonkin", by Vladimir Voinovich, in which his neighbour enthusiastically recounts to his guest, Chonkin, the number of things he can do with chicken shit, of which he has plenty. He concludes his peroration with: "Even this vodka, for instance........", only to be interrupted by Chonkin diving for the door and throwing up outside.
