Three ways of reducing the cost of enzymatic hydrolysis have so far been identified: minimizing the costs of producing the enzymes [1, 5], increasing the specific activity of the enzymes [6, 7], or recycling the enzymes for multiple rounds of hydrolysis [8, 9]. A recent review article estimated that the first two strategies have led to a 20 to 30-fold reduction in the cost of enzymes for ethanol production from acid-treated corn stover [3], and the current enzyme cost is estimated at about $1/ gallon ethanol [10]. However, to achieve the goal of commercializing biomass conversion process for bioenergy and other bio-products, a further 5-10 fold cost reduction in the use of enzyme is still direly needed. The third strategy, which is to recycle the enzymes for multiple rounds of hydrolysis, has not received as much attention as the previous two strategies. Recycling
