Decay capabilities of basidiomycetes colonizing air-seasoning red oak and blackgum railroad ties
Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2021 Fungi cultured from air-seasoning blackgum and red oak timbers were assessed for their ability to cause wood decay using two hardwoods and one soft wood species in an AWPA E10 soil block test.

Improving antifungal properties of wood with copper, zinc and cerium containing chemicals
Turkish Journal of Forestry, 2021 Wood being an organic material can be degraded and destroyed by wood-destroying organisms. For this purpose, many wood preservatives have been developed from the past to the present, and are still being developed.

Hallmarks of Basidiomycete Soft- and White-Rot in Wood-Decay -Omics Data of Two Armillaria Species
Microorganisms, 2021 Wood-decaying Basidiomycetes are among the most efficient degraders of plant cell walls, making them key players in forest ecosystems, global carbon cycle, and in bio-based industries. Recent insights from -omics data revealed a high functional diversity

Characterizing Fungal Decay of Beech Wood: Potential for Biotechnological Applications
Microorganisms, 2021 The biotechnological potential of nine decay fungi collected from stored beech logs at a pulp and paper factory yard in Northern Iran was investigated. Beech blocks exposed to the fungi in a laboratory decay test were used to study changes in cell wall ...
