Abstract
A novel bacterium that can produce an enzyme having a wide specificity and being capable of decomposing slimes originating in various molds, yeasts and the like, more particularly, a novel bacterium of the genus Cellulomonas. The enzyme solution prepared by using the above bacterium is excellent in the effects of decomposition and prevention of formation of mold slime and can be applied for controlling slimes in industrial water, such as white water in the papermaking industry or cooling water, removing slime from separative membranes, preventing sludge bulking, washing garbage cages in a kitchen sink, and preserving wood.
