MICROBE SKB-1152 STRAIN, METHOD OF SEPARATING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF BLEACHING PULP THEREWITH

摘要

A method of bleaching pulp using a microbe SKB-1152 strain, which is a lignin-decomposing bacterium having a high lignin-decomposing activity and a high activity of high-temperature pulp bleaching, or a product of culturing the microbe. The above method can be performed by the conventional biobleaching process without the necessity for employing special culture conditions. This strain can be obtained from a declorated zone formed in the medium prepared by inoculating a sample strain in a medium containing lignin and/or pulp wherein lignin remains.
