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.

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.

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.

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.

Host plants of the Brown Rot fungi in Britain

Transactions of the British Mycological Society, 1940
Summary Of the two Brown Rot fungi found in Britain Sclerotinia laxa (Monilia cinerea) is the cause of Blossom Wilt of fruit trees and ornamental shrubs of species of Pyrus and Prunus , while Sclerotinia fructigena (Monilia fructigena) is the fungus most frequently found associated with fruit Brown Rot.

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.

Induction of polygalacturonase and the formation of oxalic acid by pectin in brown-rot fungi

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1995
Extracellular polygalacturonase (PG) production was estimated in vitro, using liquid cultures of three species of brown-rot decay fungi (Postia placenta, Gloeophyllum trabeum and Serpula incrassata), by cup-plate assay, assay of reducing sugars, and decrease in viscosity. Although all three experimental assays demonstrated that PG was induced by pectin

Isolation of laccase gene-specific sequences from white rot and brown rot fungi by PCR

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1996
Degenerate primers corresponding to the consensus sequences of the copper-binding regions in the N-terminal domains of known basidiomycete laccases were used to isolate laccase gene-specific sequences from strains representing nine genera of wood rot fungi. All except three gave the expected PCR product of about 200 bp.

Differentiation of White- and Brown-Rot Fungi by an Oxidase Reaction

Nature, 1957
ALTHOUGH most wood-destroying fungi of the white- and brown-rot type may be differentiated by the Bavendamm test, which depends on the oxidative browning of tannic and gallic acid agar by fungi of the white-rot type, certain inconsistencies in this reaction have been noted by Davidson, Campbell and Blaisdell1.
