Question
Chapter 23.12, Problem 2MQ
Summary Introduction
Microbial association with several mammalian species led to the ability of catabolization of cellulose fiber. It is the structural element of the plant cell wall. Insoluble polysaccharides constitute the fiber content of plant materials and the most abundant polysaccharide is cellulose. This polysaccharide serves as the carbon and energy source for animals.
