Abstract
The bacteria Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pantoea (Enterobacter) agglomerans, Bacillus cereus, and Xanthomonas campestris are useful in reducing the pitch content of pulps and pulpwoods used in making cellulosic products. Such bacteria are also useful in reducing the color staining by staining fungi of structural wood by inoculating the structural wood or log sources from which it is to be cut.
