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

<i>In Vitro</i> and <i>In Planta</i> Botanical Control of Banana Postharvest Disease Causing Fungi. [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
Botanical (Aloevera + Garlic) extract reduced the L. theobromae growth (in vitro) and postharvest disease (crown‐rot and brown spot or fruit freckle) development (in planta) in banana without any adverse effect on the physiochemical properties such as weight, colour, firmness and TSS.

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 ...

Syringic Acid Metabolism by Some White-rot, Soft-rot and Brown-rot Fungi [PDF]

Microbiology, 1984
Syringic acid metabolism by four white-rot, two soft-rot, and two brown-rot fungi has been studied. The pathways for syringic acid metabolism have been studied in detail for the white-rot fungus,Sporotrichum pulverulentum, and a reaction sequence proposed.

A Laccase Gene Reporting System That Enables Genetic Manipulations in a Brown Rot Wood Decomposer Fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Brown rot fungi are primary decomposers of wood and litter in northern forests. Relative to other microbes, these fungi have evolved distinct mechanisms that rapidly depolymerize and metabolize cellulose and hemicellulose without digesting the more ...

Influence of Soil Characteristics on Wood Biodeterioration by Brown Rot Fungi

Applied Sciences, 2020
Soil conditions can directly influence the inoculum potential of wood decay fungi, which is likely to be a major factor in the premature failure of utility poles across Europe. The objective of our study was to assess the influence of soil pH, humic acid

Influence of fungal decay on durability and hardness strength characteristics of bagasse/PP composite [PDF]

تحقیقات علوم چوب و کاغذ ایران, 2010
In this study the effect of white and brown-rot fungi on durability and hardness characteristics of Bagasse/Polypropylene composite was evaluated. The test specimens were prepared using Bagasse fibers (38%), Polypropylene (60%), and maleic anhydride (2%)

Gene Regulation Shifts Shed Light on Fungal Adaption in Plant Biomass Decomposers

mBio, 2019
Fungi dominate the recycling of carbon sequestered in woody biomass. This process of organic turnover was first evolved among “white rot” fungi that degrade lignin to access carbohydrates and later evolved multiple times toward more efficient strategies ...

Evolution of novel wood decay mechanisms in Agaricales revealed by the genome sequences of Fistulina hepatica and Cylindrobasidium torrendii [PDF]

, 2015
Wood decay mechanisms in Agaricomycotina have been traditionally separated in two categories termed white and brown rot. Recently the accuracy of such a dichotomy has been questioned.
