LIGNIN-DEGRADING ENZYMES AND THEIR USE FOR PRODUCING PULP FROM WOOD

摘要

According to this invention, pulps can be produced in high yields while saving energy by previously fiberizing wood chips used as the original material and then treating with a microorganism having a high lignin-degrading activity and a low fiber-degrading activity upon the wood. In addition, new lignin-degrading enzymes produced by a microorganism used in this invention were identified.
