Oxalate Crystallization under the Action of Brown Rot Fungi
Crystals, 2023 Brown rot fungi belong to the wood-rotting fungi, which produce oxalic acid and actively decompose wood. We first found oxalates formed under the action of brown rot fungi in natural conditions on stone (Rogoselga adit, Karelia, Russia), proposed a model

Systematic metadata analysis of brown rot fungi gene expression data reveals the genes involved in Fenton’s reaction and wood decay process [PDF]
Mycology, 2020 Brown-rot fungi are rapid holocellulose degraders and are the most predominant degraders of coniferous wood products in North America. Brown-rot fungi degrades wood by both enzymatic (plant biomass degrading carbohydrate active enzymes-CAZymes) and non ...

Mycology, 2018 We have conducted a genome-level comparative study of basidiomycetes wood-rotting fungi (white, brown and soft rot) to understand the total plant biomass (lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin) -degrading abilities.

Enhanced Lignocellulolytic Enzyme Activities on Hardwood and Softwood during Interspecific Interactions of White- and Brown-Rot Fungi [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2021 Wood decomposition is a sophisticated process where various biocatalysts act simultaneously and synergistically on biopolymers to efficiently break down plant cell walls.

Reintroduction of lignin-modifying enzymes in the brown-rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum restores ligninolytic activities but diminishes lignocellulose degradation [PDF]
Fungal Biology and BiotechnologyFungi have evolved two distinct strategies, white-rot and brown-rot, to degrade lignocellulose in plant biomass. White-rot fungi utilize lignin-modifying enzymes (LMEs) to deconstruct lignin and access carbohydrates, whereas brown-rot fungi, which arose ...

A Fungal Secretome Adapted for Stress Enabled a Radical Wood Decay Mechanism
mBio, 2021 Brown rot fungi release massive amounts of carbon from forest deadwood, particularly at high latitudes. These fungi degrade wood by generating small reactive oxygen species (ROS) to loosen lignocellulose, to then selectively remove carbohydrates. The ROS

Using Wood Rot Phenotypes to Illuminate the “Gray” Among Decomposer Fungi
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Wood-decomposing fungi use distinct strategies to deconstruct wood that can significantly vary carbon release rates and fates. White and brown rot-type fungi attack lignin as a prerequisite to access carbohydrates (white rot) or selectively remove ...
