Used in environmental and agricultural research to quantify cellobiose hydrolyzing enzyme activity in soil samples. Helps assess microbial cellulose degradation potential, monitor soil health, and evaluate decomposition rates in ecosystems. Supports studies on biofuel production, organic matter turnover, and sustainable land management by measuring enzyme efficiency in breaking down cellulose into fermentable sugars. Widely applied in lab-based soil enzyme activity assays for ecological and biotechnological research.
