An integrated approach for pulp biobleaching: application of cocktail of enzymes.

One of the paper industry's major focuses is shifting toward eco-friendly paper production. Chemical-based bleaching of pulp, which is widely used in the paper industry, is a highly polluting step. Replacing it with enzymatic biobleaching is the most viable alternative to make the process of papermaking greener.

Convalescent plasma therapy against the emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants: Delineation of the potentialities and risks.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in a catastrophic pandemic and severely impacted people's livelihoods worldwide. In addition, the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants has posed a severe threat to humankind. Due to the dearth of therapeutic options during the commencement of the pandemic, convalescent plasma therapy (CPT) played a significant part in the management of patients with severe form of COVID-19.

Bleach enhancement of mixed wood pulp by mixture of thermo-alkali-stable xylanase and mannanase derived through co-culturing of Alkalophilic sp. NG-27 and PN-11.

The Application of a combination of enzymes is the best alternative to reduce the use of chemicals in the paper industry. sp. NG-27 and PN-11 are known to produce thermoalkali stable xylanse (X) and mannanase (M) respectively having potential for pulp biobleaching.

Lignolytic and hemicellulolytic enzyme cocktail production from Bacillus tequilensis LXM 55 and its application in pulp biobleaching.

Bioprocessing of pulp requires lignolytic as well as hemicellulolytic enzymes. The present study is the first report of a cocktail of laccase (L), xylanase (X), and mannanase (M), from a single bacterium for pulp biobleaching. A novel strain Bacillus tequilensis LXM 55 produced thermo-alkali stable L + X + M.

Combinatorial Biobleaching of Mixedwood Pulp with Lignolytic and Hemicellulolytic Enzymes for Paper Making.

Microbial enzymes are the safe alternatives to chemical based bleaching of pulp in paper mills. For effective biobleaching, both hemicellulolytic and lignolytic enzymes are required. This study reports laccase (L) + xylanase (X) and laccase (L) + mannanase (M) enzyme concoctions for pulp biobleaching derived from sp.

Coproduction of protease and mannanase from Bacillus nealsonii PN-11 in solid state fermentation and their combined application as detergent additives.

Bacillus nealsonii PN-11 produces thermo-alkalistable mannanase and protease active in wide temperature and pH range. Optimization of coproduction of protease and mannanase from this strain and application of cocktail of these enzymes as detergent additives were studied. On optimization mannanase yield of 834Ug (11.
