The present invention relates to the fields of fibers and uses thereof such as for producing
fiber webs, such as paper, board or tissue. Specifically, the invention relates to a method of monitoring and controlling cellulolytic activity in an aqueous
cellulose fiber suspension or process water for a production method of a fibrous web containing
cellulose fibers. Also, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a fibrous web, such as a paper, board, tissue or the like, and use of a
biocide for controlling cellulolytic activity in an aqueous
cellulose fiber suspension or in process water e.g. for a production method of a fibrous web containing cellulose fibers. Still, the present invention relates to a fibrous web, such as a paper, board, tissue or the like, an aqueous
cellulose fiber suspension or process water for a production method of a fibrous web containing cellulose fibers, and a
system for controlling cellulolytic activity in an aqueous
fiber suspension or in process water.
