Analysis of spatio-temporal fungal growth dynamics under different environmental conditions [PDF]
Traditionally, fungal growth dynamics were assessed manually, limiting the research to a few environmental conditions and/or fungal species. Fortunately, more automated ways of measurement are gaining momentum due to the availability of cheap imaging and

Valorization of Moroccan olive stones by using it in particleboard panels [PDF]
The main objective of this work was to find new applications to valorize olive stones (endocarp and seed). In order to improve knowledge on olive stones, the phenolic compounds concentration of three varieties of Moroccan olive trees: Moroccan Picholine,

Beech wood treated with polyglycerol succinate: a new effective method for its protection and stabilization [PDF]
This paper deals with an original and non-biocidal chemical treatment consisting of a vacuum/pressure impregnation step of beech wood with a water-borne mixture made from heat-activated condensation of succinic anhydride (SA) and glycerol (G).

The dry rot fungus Serpula lacrymans mycobiome is mainly influenced by fungal tissue type followed by sample origin. Hence the composition of the prokaryote community associated with the fungus is distinct depending on sample, that is, the clusters formed by the community differ depending on whether they are associated with S.

Decay resistance of acetylated and hexanoylated hardwood and softwood species exposed to Coniophora puteana [PDF]
Abstract The effect of chemical modification with acetic or hexanoic anhydride upon the decay resistance of wood was studied. Both sapwoods and heartwoods of the following trees were investigated: Japanese larch, Larix kaempferi (Lamb.) Carrière; Korean pine, Pinus koraiensis Siebold et Zucc. as softwoods and European beech (only sapwood)

Abstract The forest pathogen, Heterobasidion irregulare, is a serious threat to conifers in North America including Minnesota. Fungi native to Minnesota were isolated and tested in laboratory and field assays to evaluate their antagonism towards H. irregulare. One management strategy for plant pathogens, and especially H. irregulare, is to use fungi as

Polymer composites reinforced with crop husks show susceptibility to fungi of the Agaricomycotina subdivision, particularly Coniophora puteana. The material’s resistance to the fungi is evaluated by exposing specimens to the fungus for 16 weeks, and then

A „Magic Mushroom“ Multi‐Product Sesquiterpene Synthase
Shrooms going terpenoid: The sesquiterpene synthase CubA of the “magic mushroom” Psilocybe cubensis was identified as a multi‐functional enzyme producing cubebol, β‐copaene, and various other mono‐, bi‐, and tricyclic sesquiterpenes or ‐terpenoids. As related enzymes are encoded in numerous Psilocybe species, our results provide further insight into ...

ACCELERATED LABORATORY TEST OF RUBBERWOOD ORIENTED STRANDBOARD EXPOSED TO WOOD DECAY FUNGI
This work aimed to evaluate the natural durability of oriented strandboards (OSB) manufactured with strands of Hevea brasiliensis Müll.Arg. bonded with 5% and 8% of urea-formaldehyde (UF) and phenol-formadehyde (FF) resins, exposed to xilophagous fungi ...
