Changes in Chemical Structure of Thermally Modified Spruce Wood Due to Decaying Fungi
Fungi play a critical role in the decomposition of wood and wood-based products in use. The ability of decaying fungi to cause degradation of polysaccharides and lignin in the thermally modified Norway spruce (Picea abies L.

Influence of fungal decay on durability and hardness strength characteristics of bagasse/PP composite [PDF]
In this study the effect of white and brown-rot fungi on durability and hardness characteristics of Bagasse/Polypropylene composite was evaluated. The test specimens were prepared using Bagasse fibers (38%), Polypropylene (60%), and maleic anhydride (2%)

White-rot fungi are the most important group of lignin biodegraders. Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 has higher ligninolytic activity than that of model white-rot fungi. However, the underlying mechanism responsible for lignin degradation by white-rot fungi

Enzyme Activity Profiles Produced on Wood and Straw by Four Fungi of Different Decay Strategies
Four well-studied saprotrophic Basidiomycota Agaricomycetes species with different decay strategies were cultivated on solid lignocellulose substrates to compare their extracellular decomposing carbohydrate-active and lignin-attacking enzyme production ...

Aerobic H2 production related to formate metabolism in white-rot fungi
Biohydrogen is mainly produced by anaerobic bacteria, anaerobic fungi, and algae under anaerobic conditions. In higher eukaryotes, it is thought that molecular hydrogen (H2) functions as a signaling molecule for physiological processes such as stress ...

The Synergistic Action of Electro-Fenton and White-Rot Fungi in the Degradation of Lignin
White-rot fungus is a common lignin-degrading fungus. However, compared with those of microorganisms that biodegrade lignin alone, synergistic systems of electro-Fenton processes and white-rot fungi are superior because of their high efficiency, mild ...

Alumina as an Antifungal Agent for Pinus elliottii Wood
This work deals with the durability of a Pinus elliotti wood impregnated with alumina (Al2O3) particles. The samples were impregnated at three different Al2O3 weight fractions (c.a. 0.1%, 0.3% and 0.5%) and were then exposed to two wood-rot fungi, namely
