| Abstract | New gene selection techniques (Recombinant DNA) are currently available to exploit useful properties of various biological systems hitherto regarded as interesting but of little or no immediate commercial value. The application of genetic engineering techniques to problems in the Pulp and Paper Industry are many. As a first step these techniques are being used to provide much needed fundamental information on the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the expression of extra-cellular enzymes that degrade lignocellulosic pulping wastes. The information gleaned from the studies on cellulolytic fungi and bacteria can be used to genetically engineer a yeast or bacterium capable of converting pulping wastes into ethanol and other useful by-products. |
