The Soil Circumcision- β-1,4-glucanase (S-C1) Activity Assay Kit is primarily used to measure the enzymatic activity of β-1,4-glucanase in soil samples. This enzyme plays a critical role in the decomposition of cellulose, a major component of plant biomass, into simpler sugars. By assessing its activity, researchers can evaluate soil health, organic matter decomposition rates, and microbial activity in agricultural or environmental studies. The kit is particularly useful in understanding soil fertility, carbon cycling, and the impact of agricultural practices on soil ecosystems. It is also applied in research focused on biofuel production, as cellulose degradation is a key step in converting plant biomass into renewable energy sources.
