Production and partial characterization of cellulase free xylanase by Bacillus subtilis C 01 using agriresidues and its application in biobleaching of nonwoody plant pulps

Abstract

This is the first report on biobleaching of banana fibres, silk cotton and cotton pulps using xylanase. The biobleaching results of secondary fibres are promising and can be transferred to paper mills, which utilize nonwoody plant fibres as a raw material for paper production.
