TL;DR: This is the first report describing the use of xylanase and pectinase produced simultaneously in the same production medium from the same bacterial isolate for effective biobleaching of kraft pulp.

TL;DR: This is the first report mentioning the use of xylanase and pectinase produced from a cellulase free alkalo-thermotolerant bacterial strain in the same cost effective agricultural residues based production medium for deinking and will help in making the process ecofriendly with 50% reduction in chemicals, commercially viable with better paper quality.

TL;DR: Improvement in various pulp properties like viscosity, burst factor, burstness, breaking length, double fold, gurley porosity, tear factor, and tearness were also observed after bleaching of xylanase treated wheat straw pulp.

TL;DR: A strategy of using cost effective wheat-bran, wastepaper and citrus-peel for the isolation of cellulase free xylano-pectinolytic microorganisms is a novel and promising method and will ultimately bring down the cost of screening of these enzyme producing microorganisms.

TL;DR: In this article, two stage statistical design was used to optimize xylanase production from Bacillus pumilus ASH under solid-state fermentation, which resulted in 2.19-fold increase in xylan enzyme yield over conventional strategy.
