The present invention relates to microorganism control field in process for treatment of pulp and/or water in paper-making process. More specifically, the present invention provides a microorganism control system, which comprises a first component and a second component which are separately provided, the first component comprises a stabilized halogen-containing bactericidal agent (e.g., a stabilized hypochlorite), and the second component comprises an aminosulfonic acid reagent (e.g., aminosulfonic acid). The present invention further provides a method for controlling microorganism in process for treatment of pulp and/or water in papermaking process, which comprises using the microorganism control system of the present invention.

Disclosed is a method for controlling a biofilm, removing a formed biofilm and/or controlling a growth of microorganisms, preferably bacteria, in an aqueous environment of an industrial manufacturing process including a cellulosic fibre material. A compound according to Formula I is administered to the aqueous environment, in which Formula I R1, R2 and R3 independently represent a hydrogen atom; halogen atom; hydroxy group; amino group; alkylamino group, alkyl group, hydroxyalkyl group, haloalkyl group or alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; or an acylamido group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms; and A represents 2-thiazolamine;

2-propenenitrile; 2-propenoic acid; alkyl ester or hydroxyalkyl ester of 2-propenoic acid having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; or —CHCHCONR5R6 group, where R5 and R6 represent independently hydrogen atom, alkyl or hydroxyalkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, with the proviso that the compound according to Formula I is not 3-[(4-methylphenyl)sulphonyl]-2-propenenitrile or 4-amino-N-2-thiazolyl-benzene-sulphonamide.
