This collection of comprehensive reviews describes the present knowledge
of the enzyme mechanisms involved in the biodegradation of wood and wood
components, cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin by both fungi and bacteria.
The extensive knowledge, presented in this volume, was developed in
laboratories world-wide over the last few decades and constitutes the
foundation for present and future biotechnology in the pulp and paper industry.
Topics covered are as follows:
Forest tree biotechnology
Microorganisms and enzymes involved in the degradation of plant fiber
cell walls
Lignin
Fungal delignification and biomechanical pulping of wood
Solving pitch problems in pulp and paper processes by the use of
enzymes or fungi
Reduction of organochlorine compounds in bleach plant effluents
Hemicellulases in the bleaching of chemical pulps
Using enzymes in pulp bleaching: mill applications
Biotechnology for solving slime problems in the pulp and paper
industry
