Overall project
Saving the World
"Cellulose is the most abundant form of fixed carbon, with 100,000,000,000 tons produced in cell walls by plants each year"
(Wilson, 2008) [http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/full/10.1196/annals.1419.026 ]
Nowadays the world-wide food shortage is becoming more and more important. As we can image, converting cellulose to starch will be one of the most sufficient ways to solve this problem .
