Modelling timber decay caused by brown rot fungi

Materials and Structures, 2015
Decay models are key elements for service life prediction and performance classification of wooden products and timber structures. Available models differ in terms of data sources used and prevailing decay types considered. Comparative studies on performance models are therefore rare.

Bioremediation of DDT contaminated soil using brown-rot fungi

International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 2011
Abstract The ability of brown-rot fungi (BRF) to eliminate DDT in artificially and historically contaminated soil was investigated to determine whether the BRF would be suitable for the bioremediation of DDT in soil. Gloeophyllum trabeum, Fomitopsis pinicola and Daedalea dickinsii showed an ability to eliminate DDT in artificially contaminated ...

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.

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 ...

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.

Wood Degradation by Brown-Rot and White-Rot Fungi

2004
Elucidating the mechanism of biological wood decay is not only important ecologically due to its role in the carbon cycle, but also due to its economic significance. Research into this fundamental process has resulted in a large number of potential applications in the pulp and paper industry.

Biological Characterization of Poria Indoor Brown-Rot Fungi

hfsg, 1996
Pure cultures of the Paria indoor brown-not fungi, Antrodia vaillantii, A.sinuosa, A.serialis, A.xantha and Tyromyces placenta, were studied regarding growth rate, response to temperature, copper tolerance, wood decay and mycelial interactions. Radial growth extension reached from 4-9 mm/d. All fungi were rather resistant to high temperatures.

Efficacy of Pinosylvins against White-Rot and Brown-Rot Fungi

Holzforschung, 1999
Summary Three stilbenes, pinosylvin (PS), pinosylvin monomethyl ether (PSM) and pinosylvin dimethyl ether (PSD), were extracted from white spruce (Picea glauca), jack pine (Pinus banksiana), and red pine (Pinus resinosa) pine cones, and their structures were confirmed by spectroscopic and chromatographic (HPLC, GC/MS, NMR and FTIR) analysis.

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 ...

Solid-state fermentation of pine sawdust by selected brown-rot fungi

Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 1989
Abstract The effects of selected culture parameters on the solid-state fermentation of radiata pine (Pinus radiata) by the brown-rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum were examined. Oxygen concentration is critical for wood decay; a twofold increase was observed when 21% O2 was employed, as compared to 5% O2. The highest yields were obtained with pO2 > 50%.
