Culture conditions affecting biodegradation components of the brown-rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum

Archives of Microbiology, 2003
To determine the liquid culture conditions under which the wood-degrading system of the brown-rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum is expressed, enzymes and metabolites from liquid and solid substrate cultures were characterized. Enzymes were analyzed by 2-D gel electrophoresis and also assayed. Growth conditions were varied by using liquid media containing:

Purification and characterization of a thermostable xylanase from the brown-rot fungus Laetiporus sulphureus

Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2009
A thermostable extracellular xylanase was purified and characterized from brown-rot basidiomycete Laetiporus sulphureus, cultivated on biologically pretreated Pinus densiflora biomass. After three consecutive purification steps using DEAE, Mono Q, and Superdex 75 columns, the xylanase specific activity was found to be 72.4 U/mg, nine fold higher than ...

Proteinases of the Brown-Rot Fungus Postia Placenta

Mycologia, 1992
Proteinase formation by the brown-rot fungus Postia placenta was studied to determine whether differences in proteolytic enzyme production could be correlated with the ability to decay wood.

Assessment of saccharification efficacy in the cellulase system of the brown rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2010
Brown rot fungi uniquely degrade wood by creating modifications thought to aid in the selective removal of polysaccharides by an incomplete cellulase suite. This naturally successful mechanism offers potential for current bioprocessing applications. To test the efficacy of brown rot cellulases, southern yellow pine wood blocks were first degraded by ...

Multipath effects of berberine on peach Brown rot fungus Monilinia fructicola

Crop Protection, 2019
Abstract The brown rot disease caused by fungus Monilinia fructicola severely reduces the yield of peach and other stone fruits. Earlier, we found that berberine (BBR), one of isoquinoline alkaloids, strongly halts the growth of M. fructicola. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we report that BBR inhibits M.

Characterization and Molecular Cloning of Cellobiose Dehydrogenase from the Brown-Rot Fungus Coniophora puteana

Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering, 2004
Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) was purified from the brown-rot fungus Coniophora puteana grown in culture containing crystalline cellulose as a carbon source. The purified enzyme gave a single band at 115 kDa on SDS-PAGE and showed a typical flavocytochrome absorption spectrum.

Polyamine Biosynthesis in the Brown-Rot Fungus Postia placenta

1990
Polyamines are aliphatic polycations that have been shown to be essential for optimal growth and development of a wide variety of living organisms (McCann et al., 1987). Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) (EC 4.1.1.17) and arginine decarboxylase (ADC) (EC 4.1.1.19) control the rate-limiting steps responsible for biosynthesis of the polyamines putrescine ...

Two-way translocation of cations by the brown rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum

International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 1997
Abstract Wood decay fungi are known to translocate elements, but the details regarding mechanisms and specificity of translocation are not well understood. Gloeophyllum trabeum was grown on blocks of red spruce sapwood that had been previously soaked in salt solutions of CaCl 2 , KCl, NaCl, MgCl 2 and MgSO 4 .

Monilia mumecola, a new brown rot fungus on Prunus mume in Japan

Journal of General Plant Pathology, 2004
In 1982, an anamorphic fungus in the genus Monilia was first isolated as the causal agent of brown rot disease of Japanese apricot or mume (Prunus mume) in Oita Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan. Inoculation of flowers, shoots, and fruit of P. mume with the fungus reproduced brown rot disease symptoms similar to those found in nature.

Degradation of cellulose by the major endoglucanase produced from the brown-rot fungus Fomitopsis pinicola

Biotechnology Letters, 2008
An endoglucanase that is able to degrade both crystalline and amorphous cellulose was purified from the culture filtrates of the brown-rot fungus Fomitopsis pinicola grown on cellulose. An apparent molecular weight of the purified enzyme was approximately 32 kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis.
