Abstract

Coprinus cinereus 2249 that is a kind of basidiomycetes constitutively produced alkaline carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase), filter paper cellulase (FPase) and xylanase. Crude enzymes prepared with optimal conditions showed higher FPase activity than CMCase activity. The FPase was most active at pH 9 at 50$^{\circ}C$. When applied on deinking of the old newsprint (ONP), it increases the freeness and brightness due to effect of hydrolysis at 0.1% enzyme concentration. Also, The physical properties of deinked pulp were improved.
