Elite Engineer Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 If I ingested a bunch of cellulase and started eating grass, leaves, etc. wouldn't that be sufficient to breakdown the cellulose into digestible carbohydrates for energy?..just curious ~EE
John Cuthber Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 One problem would be that the cellulase would be a protein, and you would digest it.
