Comparative study of genome-wide plant biomass-degrading CAZymes in white rot, brown rot and soft rot fungi [PDF]
Mycology, 2018 We have conducted a genome-level comparative study of basidiomycetes wood-rotting fungi (white, brown and soft rot) to understand the total plant biomass (lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin) -degrading abilities.

Degradation of thermo-hygro-mechanically (THM)-densified wood by soft-rot fungi [PDF]
Holzforschung, 2008 Abstract Thermo-hygro-mechanical (THM)-densified wood is more resistant to colonisation and degradation by brown-rot fungi than untreated wood. Colonisation and degradation by soft-rot fungi was investigated in treated Norway spruce (Picea abies) and treated beech (Fagus sylvatica) to assess their suitability for utility class 4.

Using Wood Rot Phenotypes to Illuminate the “Gray” Among Decomposer Fungi
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Wood-decomposing fungi use distinct strategies to deconstruct wood that can significantly vary carbon release rates and fates. White and brown rot-type fungi attack lignin as a prerequisite to access carbohydrates (white rot) or selectively remove ...

Soil sterilization accumulates higher content of antibacterial compound and recruits beneficial fungus for konjac soft rot disease management by multi-omics analyses [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyKonjac soft rot is a typical soil-borne disease, and while soil sterilization is known to reduce pathogen inoculum and disease incidence, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Metagenomic analysis of microbial community dynamics in konjac rhizosphere during soft rot disease progression [PDF]
Applied Microbiology and BiotechnologyAmorphophallus konjac, the sole glucomannan-rich species in the Araceae family, faces significant yield and quality losses due to soft rot disease. Understanding the relationship between soil microbial communities and soft rot incidence is critical for ...
