Abstract
The aim of this research was to assess the efficacy of disinfection solutions containing quarternary ammonium salts (QAC) in controlling cellulolytic fungi. The influence of different disinfection solutions on paper properties and writing or printing materials and other media on paper were also taken into account. The solutions were applied in a one-hour immersion treatment at a 0.5% concentration and eliminated the fungi Penicillium spinulosum, Cylindrocarpon hederae and Cladosporium cladosporioides successfully, while the fungus Trichoderma pseudokoningii was reduced to a lesser degree. Chaetomidium subfimeti proved to be resistant to disinfection solutions.
