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

Bioremediation of DDT contaminated soil using brown-rot fungi

International Biodeterioration and 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 ...

Vanillic acid metabolism by selected soft-rot, brown-rot, and white-rot fungi

Archives of Microbiology, 1982
Metabolism of vanillic acid, a product of lignin degradation, has been studied in selected representatives of soft-rot, brown-rot and white-rot fungi. All of the brown-and white-rot species examined decarboxylated vanillate to methoxyhydroquinone oxidatively.

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.

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.

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 ...

Decay of date palm wood by white-rot and brown-rot fungi

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1991
Wood from trunks of Canary Island date palm (Phoenix canariensis) was decayed for 12 weeks with white-rot fungi (Ganoderma colossum, G. zonatum, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Scytinostroma galactinum, or Trametes versicolor) or brown-rot fungi (Wolfiporia cocos, Gloeophyllum trabeum, or Fomitopsis pinicola). Using the vermiculite-block assay, white-rot

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.

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.
