Cellobiose is a disaccharide subunit of cellulose composed of two glucose molecules linked in a β (1 → 4) bond; which can be hydrolyzed by bacteria or cationic exchangers.
Cellobiose is a disaccharide with the formula (HOCH 2 (CHOH) 5) 2 O. The molecule is derived from the condensation of two glucose molecules linked in a β (1 → 4) bond. It can be hydrolyzed by bacteria or cationic exchangers.
