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.

Application of enzymes in producing bleached pulp from wheat straw.

TL;DR: Xylanase could substitute for alkali extraction in CEH sequence, and be used for treating chemical-bleached pulp, which resulted in higher strength properties for bleached pulp.

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.
