An enzyme produced by fungus may replace chemicals in the paper industry
A trio of researchers from the University of São Paulo (USP) and São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil has developed a method to obtain an enzyme from a fungus cultivated in agricultural waste that promotes cellulose pulp bleaching, an important paper production process. Their study is published in the journal BioResources.
