Three Brown-Rot Fungi in the Corticiaceae

Mycologia, 1982
Crustoderma resinosum and two new species, Crustoderma flavescens and C. opuntiae, are described and illustrated. All are associated with brown rots. Cultural characters are included for all species. Cultures previously reported as Unknown A were found to be iden­ tical to polysporous cultures of C. flavescens. Gilbertson recently reported (1980, 1981)

The ultrastructure of the stroma of the brown rot fungi

Archiv f�r Mikrobiologie, 1969
Most of the hyphae forming the medulla of the stroma of the brown rot fungi are 4–7 μ in diameter and contain food reserves in large vacuoles and lipid bodies. Some stromatal hyphae have very thick walls and perform a protective function. Smaller hyphae (1–2 μ in diameter) form a network through the medulla and their structure suggests that they ...

Biodegradation by Brown Rot Fungi

2002
The decay of lignocellulose is one of the most important processes for all life on earth. Carbon fixed by green plants is recycled back into the atmosphere principally by fungi through the process of lignocellulose decay, estimated at 85 billion tons of carbon per year (Cowling 1963). Wood lignocellulose accounts for most of the biomass on earth, being

Further studies of the brown-rot fungi

Transactions of the British Mycological Society, 1927
Summary A survey is presented of the literature on the nomenclature of the brown-rot fungus generally distributed throughout the fruitgrowing regions of the United States and Canada. The names that have been applied to it are: Sclerotinia fructigena (Pers.) Schrot.; Sclerotinia cinerea (Bon.) Schrot.; Sclerotinia cinerea forma americana Wormald ...

Lignocellulose modifications by brown rot fungi and their effects, as pretreatments, on cellulolysis

Bioresource Technology, 2012
Brown rot fungi Gloeophyllum trabeum and Postia placenta were used to degrade aspen, spruce, or corn stover over 16 weeks. Decayed residues were saccharified using commercial cellulases or brown rot fungal extracts, loaded at equal but low endoglucanase titers.

Decomposition of Wood by Brown-Rot Fungi

1989
Many different types of organisms deteriorate wood, but the greatest damage is microbial decay caused by fungi (Figures 1 and 2). Fungal decay is by far the most serious type of damage to wood in use, because it can cause structural failure that, at times, is very rapid.

The role of cations in the biodegradation of wood by the brown rot fungi

International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 1997
This review describes what is presently known about the role of positively charged ions in the colonization and degradation of wood by brown rot fungi. General patterns of cation accumulation and the roles of iron, manganese, calcium and other cations in the fungal environment are discussed. The physiology of brown rot fungi and mechanisms of wood cell

Electron Microscopy of Cellulose Decomposition by Brown-Rot Fungi

Holzforschung, 1983
The degradation of isolated cellulose by 11 brown-rot fungi was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). SEM showed random growth of all the fungi over the fiber surface and that none of the fungi penetrated into the fibers by means of bore holes.

The Use of ELISA for the Detection of White- and Brown-Rot Fungi

Holzforschung, 1991
On a utilise l'essai immunoenzymatique ELISA pour detecter et quantifier les metabolites fongiques degradant le bois. La sensibilite et la specificite des anticorps produits a ete evaluee pour Postia placenta, Trametes versicolor, Lentinula edodes et Tyromyces palustris.

Involvement of Fenton Reaction in DDT Degradation by Brown-Rot Fungi

International Biodeterioration and Biodegradation, 2010
In this study, the ability of the brown-rot fungi (BRF) Fomitopsis pinicola and Daedalea dickinsii to degrade DDT (1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis (4-chlorophenyl) ethane) was investigated. F. pinicola and D. dickinsii degraded approximately 63% and 47% of total DDT in potato dextrose broth (PDB) medium, respectively. Degradation of DDT by D.
