Wood Deterioration by Marine Borers

2020
Cultural Heritage wood exposed in saline and brackish waters may be subjected to severe damage by marine borers in a relatively short time compared to fungi and bacteria. This chapter discusses the wood-boring molluscan families Teredinidae, Pholadidae and Xylophagaidae and the crustacean families Limnoriidae, Sphaeromatidae and Cheluridae.

Field test of resistance of modified wood to marine borers

Wood Material Science and Engineering, 2006
Abstract The resistance of modified wood to marine borer attack was tested in a field test according to the European Standard EN 275. The wood modification methods were: 1) furfurylation; 2) treatment with methylated melamine resin (MMF); 3) acetylation; 4) acetylation followed by furfurylation; 5) acetylation followed by treatment with MMF resin; 6 ...

Wooden Panel Deterioration by Tropical Marine Wood Borers

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 1996
Wood destruction in test panels ofShorea leprosulawas related to the percentage of fouling, types of wood borers and the number of wood borers. The natural durability ofShorea leprosulapanels was estimated to be 4–5 months in Malaysian marine waters. A higher fouling cover resulted in lower rates of wooden panel deterioration.

Marine Borers

1978
Abstract The purpose of this chapter is to briefly review what we know about borers as trace makers, as bioeroders, and paleoecological and sedimen- totogical indicators. Most of the discussion is documented and illustrated with previously published work, and our intent simply is to draw attention to basic principles and to the ...

MARINE BORER ALDEHYDE OXIDASE

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1965
A very active and specific enzyme, aldehyde oxidase, has been demonstrated and partially purified from the digestive tract of the marine borer, Bankia setacea (Tryon). In the presence of the enzyme, the substrate vanillin was oxidized to vanillic acid with the simultaneous reduction of oxygen, cytochrome c, 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol, or methylene ...
