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 ...

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.

Wood durability of home-garden teak against brown-rot and white-rot fungi

Trees, 2005
Natural decay resistance of teak wood grown in home-garden forestry and the factors influencing decay resistance were determined in comparison with that of a typical forest plantation. Accelerated laboratory tests were conducted on 1800 wood samples drawn from 15 trees of three planted sites.

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.

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.

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 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 ...

Comparative Studies on Thermochemical Characterization of Corn Stover Pretreated by White-Rot and Brown-Rot Fungi

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2011
The effects of white-rot and brown-rot fungal pretreatment on the chemical composition and thermochemical conversion of corn stover were investigated. Fungus-pretreated corn stover was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis to characterize the changes in chemical composition.
