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 ...

Production and Degradation of Oxalic Acid by Brown Rot Fungi [PDF]
Our results show that all of the brown rot fungi tested produce oxalic acid in liquid as well as in semisolid cultures. Gloeophyllum trabeum , which accumulates the lowest amount of oxalic acid during decay of pine holocellulose, showed the highest polysaccharide-depolymerizing activity.

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

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

Brown rot fungi cause a type of wood decay characterized by carbohydrate degradation and lignin modification. The chemical and physical changes caused by brown rot are usually studied using bulk analytical methods, but these methods fail to consider ...

Evolutionary dynamics of host specialization in wood-decay fungi
Background The majority of wood decomposing fungi are mushroom-forming Agaricomycetes, which exhibit two main modes of plant cell wall decomposition: white rot, in which all plant cell wall components are degraded, including lignin, and brown rot, in ...

The influence of fiber chemical treatment on prevention of biologic deterioration of medium density fiberboard (MDF) [PDF]
In this research, the effects of acetylation on the prevention of white-rot and brown-rot fungi deterioration in medium density fiberboard (MDF) were investigated.

Brown-rot fungi account for a small portion of the wood-decaying fungi. There are a few corticioid genera causing brown rot of wood, and their species diversity is still under investigated and studied, especially in subtropical and tropical areas.
