SIGNIFICANCE OF WOOD-DECAYING FUNGI IN THE ENVIRONMENT

2023
The chapter about Wood Decay Fungi dives deeply into the intriguing realm of these microorganisms, which assume a crucial function in the natural process of recycling lignocellulosic material. Wood decay fungi, which cover a wide range of taxonomic groupings, play a significant role in the decomposition process by effectively breaking down the ...

Delignification by Wood-Decay Fungi

Annual Review of Phytopathology, 1991
Wood decay fungi are unique because of their capacity to decompose lignified cell walls. A few species are of special interest because they can selectively remove lignin from wood without extensive cellulose degradation. Lignin is a complex, heterogeneous phenylpropanoid structural polymer that occurs throughout the cell wall (71, 112).

Pathogenic wood‐decaying fungi in China

Forest Pathology, 2007
SummaryWood‐decaying fungi on living trees in China were surveyed over the last 12 years. In all, 102 potentially pathogenic Basidiomycetes were found in natural forests, forest plantations, parks and gardens, and among them 20 species were recorded for the first time on living trees in China.

The impact of the postharvest environment on the viability and virulence of decay fungi

Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2017
Postharvest decay of fruits, vegetables, and grains by fungal pathogens causes significant economic losses. Infected produce presents a potential health risk since some decay fungi produce mycotoxins that are hazardous to human health. Infections are the result of the interplay between host resistance and pathogen virulence.

Metal accumulation by wood-decaying fungi

Chemosphere, 1982
Abstract Metal concentrations (Na, K, Rb, Mg, Ca, Sr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Cd, Al, and Pb) in the sporophores of ten wood-decaying macromycete species were related to concentrations in the wood substrates. Manganese, Sr, Ca, and Pb were usually excluded by the fungi, K, Rb, and, to a lower degree, Cd, Fe, Zn, Cu, Mg and Na, were accumulated.

Atlas of Wood Decaying Fungi

2009
This book contains valuable information about wood decaying fungi as a specific group of organisms – about their biological and ecological characteristics, species, classification, etc. It is aimed at agronomists, foresters, landscape designers, environmentalists, biologists and ecologists who may be interested in studying these areas.

LATENT DECAY FUNGI: THE HIDDEN FOE?

Arboricultural Journal, 1994
Summary In the sapwood of branches and trunks of angiosperm trees, extensive (several, sometimes many metres) columns af decay, occupied by a single fungal individual frequently develop rapidly (often in less than one growing season), in the absence of major wounds.

On the antitumour activity of some poducts of wood-decaying fungi

Experientia, 1967
Die Versuchsergebnisse uber die antitumorose Aktivitat einiger holzzerstorender Pilze (Losung des roten Pigmentes nachSchaněl4) wurde beschrieben. Das Uberleben von Mausen mit implantiertem Ehrlich'schem Karzinom ist statistisch in der Gruppe der behandelten Tiere in 5% gesichert.
