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

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 ...

Evolution of novel wood decay mechanisms in Agaricales revealed by the genome sequences of Fistulina hepatica and Cylindrobasidium torrendii [PDF]
Wood decay mechanisms in Agaricomycotina have been traditionally separated in two categories termed white and brown rot. Recently the accuracy of such a dichotomy has been questioned.

Metabolism of phenanthrene by the white rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus [PDF]
The white rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus, grown for 11 days in basidiomycetes rich medium containing [14C] phenanthrene, metabolized 94% of the phenanthrene added. Of the total radioactivity, 3% was oxidized to CO2. Approximately 52% of phenanthrene was metabolized to trans-9,10-dihydroxy-9,10-dihydrophenanthrene (phenanthrene trans-9,10-dihydrodiol ...

Bio-liquefaction/solubilization of low-rank Turkish lignites and characterization of the products [PDF]
The effect of some white-rot fungi on the bio-liquefaction/solubilization of two low-rank Turkish coals and the chemical composition of the liquid products and the microbial mechanisms of coal conversion were investigated.

Effects of gadolinium and tin to the production of oxidative enzymes and the growth of five basidiomycetous fungi [PDF]
Effects of gadolinium (Gd) and tin (Sn) on the growth and production of oxidative enzymes with five basidiomycetous fungi were tested. For this study we have selected well-known white-rot fungi Obba rivulosa and Kuehneromyces mutabilis, in addition to ...

Comparative Assessment of Antifungal Potential of Clove (Eugenia caryophyllata) and Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) Essential Oils [PDF]
The paper refers to the comparative evaluation of the potential antifungal effect of two essential oils: clove (Eugenia caryophyllata) essential oil and cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) essential oil, against a brown rot fungus (Postia placenta) and a white

A Fungal Secretome Adapted for Stress Enabled a Radical Wood Decay Mechanism
Brown rot fungi release massive amounts of carbon from forest deadwood, particularly at high latitudes. These fungi degrade wood by generating small reactive oxygen species (ROS) to loosen lignocellulose, to then selectively remove carbohydrates. The ROS
