id: GO:0052785
name: cellulose catabolism by endo-processive cellulases
namespace: biological_process
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: The breakdown into simpler components of cellulose. Catabolism is initiated by endohydrolytic attacks on the cellulose chain, and the resulting pieces are further degraded by cellulase enzymes to produce smaller and smaller fragments.
