Abstract

This article focuses on biotechnical methods in the pulp and paper industry, that is, on enzymatic and microbial treatments for the modification of wood cells and cellulose pulps. The biochemical mechanisms of biotechnical
process stages are reviewed with reference to their benefits in terms of energy or chemical savings
