TLDR
Based on energy savings and improvements in the strength properties, regardless of bioreactor type, the white-rot fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora appeared to be superior to the otherwhite-rot fungi tested.
Abstract
Paper optical properties handsheets, whereas brightness and light scattering coefficient of the handsheets were decreased after all of the fungal treatments. Opacity of the handsheets after the fungal treatments remained unchanged. Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) White-rot fungi Based on energy savings and improvements in the strength properties, regardless of bioreactor type, the white-rot fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora appeared to be superior to the other white-rot fungi tested. When incubated in stationary tray bioreactors, C. subvermispora caused only 6% weight loss, saved 42% energy during fiberization and refining, improved burst index by 32% and tear index by 67%, as compared to the control.

Kraft pulping of Eucalyptus nitens wood chips biotreated by Ceriporiopsis subvermispora

TL;DR: In this paper, a pre-treatment with Ceriporiopsis subvermispora would improve the performance of Eucalyptus nitens and E. globulus during kraft pulping.

Beneficial Effects of Fungal Treatment before Pulping and Bleaching of Acacia mangium and Eucalyptus Camaldulensis

RO Malinen, +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, three white rot fungi (Ceriporiopsis subvermispora, Phanerochate chrysosporium and Trametes (Coriolus) versicolor) were tested for their ability to modify/degrade lignin in cooking and bleaching.

Structural Motifs of Wheat Straw Lignin Differ in Susceptibility to Degradation by the White-Rot Fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora

TL;DR: It was shown that β-O-4′ ethers and the more condensed phenylcoumarans and resinols were equally susceptible to fungal breakdown, and results indicate that electron density of the 4′- O-coupled ring and local steric hindrance are important determinants of oxidative β-o- 4′ ether degradation.

Improved surface properties of CTMP fibers with enzymatic pretreatment of wood chips prior to refining

TL;DR: In this article, surface properties of chemithermomechanical pulp (CTMP) fibers produced from enzymatically pretreated eucalyptus wood chips prior to refining were investigated by Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), Transmission Electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS).

Biomechanical pulping of aspen chips: energy savings resulting from different fungal treatments

TL;DR: It is reported that four-week-long treatment with white-rot fungi in a stationary wire tray bioreactor resulted in at least 35% energy savings for pulping chips to 100 mL CSF in a 300-mm-diameter disc refiner.
