Taming the Production of Bioluminescent Wood Using the White Rot Fungus Desarmillaria Tabescens. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Here, this work describes an efficient method to induce bioluminescence in non‐living balsa wood by treating it with the living fungus Desarmillaria tabescens. The optimized growth conditions maximize colonization of the wood by rhizomorphs. These findings show that the moisture content and the breakdown of lignin are essential factors in the ...
