A kinetic model representing the synergistic action of the three components that compose cellulose on hydrolysis of solid cellulose particles is proposed. The model consists of three simultaneous differential equations: one representing the action of the endoenzyme, another representing the action of the exoenzyme, and the third representing the action of the {Beta}-glucosidase. A simultaneous solution of these three equations expresses the synergism. The experimental data fit the theory well.
