Modification of Different Pulps by Homologous Overexpression Alkali-Tolerant Endoglucanase in Bacillus subtilis Y106

Abstract Cellulase (mainly endoglucanase, EG) has been used in pulp modification for improving paper quality through environmentally friendly process. But low activity in alkaline pH and high filter paper activity (FPA) were still obstacles for extending the cellulase application in papermaking indu...
