Which consequence results when anaerobic bacteria degrade cellulose?

💡 Explanation

Rapid methane production increases because hydrolysis breaks β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in cellulose, enabling methanogenesis. Therefore, methane increases rather than cellulose becoming crystalline or pH decreasing, because β-1,4-glycosidic bonds availability directly limits conversion.
