DE   lytic cellulose monooxygenase (C4-dehydrogenating).
CA   [(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl]n+m + reduced acceptor + O2 = 4-dehydro-beta-D-
CA   glucosyl-[(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl]n-1 + [(1->4)-beta-D-glucosyl]m +
CA   acceptor + H2O.
CC   -!- This enzyme, found in fungi and bacteria, cleaves cellulose in an
CC       oxidative manner.
CC   -!- The cellulose fragments that are formed contain a 4-dehydro-D-glucose
CC       residue at the non-reducing end.
CC   -!- Some enzymes also oxidize cellulose at the C-1 position of the
CC       reducing end forming a D-glucono-1,5-lactone residue (cf.
CC       EC 1.14.99.54).
