Microbiological agents, such as bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi, degrade cellulose. The
most severe deterioration in indoor environments is primarily caused by cellulolytic fungi …

A review of the literature and certain new findings are presented which relate to the types of
fungi which occur on cellulosic textile fibers under various practical exposure conditions …

Cellulose destroying fungi are valued for their part in the process of reducing plant remains
to humus for the enrichment of the soil. The magnitude of this valuable decomposition …

Biodeterioration of textile materials is notjust confined to mildew and rotting of cellulosic
products—micro-organisms interfere with processes such as water-jet weaving and they …

On the basis of a survey of the literature and of test results here reported on more than 400
fungus isolates, cellulose-decomposing activity is shown to be very widely distributed but not …

Microscopic studies have been carried out on the degradation of cellophane and various
cellulosic fibres by a number of wood-attacking microfungi. The formation of cavities of soft …

Paper biodeterioration by fungi has always been a concern in archives, libraries and
museums. Several guidelines have been published regarding the prevention of fungal …

The effects of microbiological degradation of mate-rials have only within the past decade
been subjected to a systematic inquiry. The seriousness of the problem, however, has been …

The effectiveness of an oxidative biomimetic copper-pyridine system (Cu-py-H 2 O 2) was
successfully demonstrated on model textile samples of unaged and artificially aged desized …

Biological pulping has the potential to improve the quality of pulp, properties of paper and to
reduce energy costs and environmental impact relative to traditional pulping operations. It …
